Caps United president Farai Jere was on Sunday elected as the new Premier Soccer League (PSL) chairperson. Jere narrowly won with 9 votes against Triangle’s Lovemore Matikinye who had 7 votes. The representatives for Herentals and ZPC Kariba failed to vote after arriving late. Chicken Inn’s Lifa Ncube was elected deputy chairman after winning the election unelected. Speaking after the election, Jere said,
Naturally, I am happy, the governors went through what we were offering them and this is an endorsement to our manifesto. It was a good race and we had gone through a good campaign. We are coming into office at a time there is renewed hope for the economy with a new government coming in. But I think going forward now our mission is to see how we can bring back the people to the stadiums to watch the teams that they love. I hope ours will be a successful tenure.
