Farai Dziva|ZIFA has banned its former president Philip Chiyangwa and deputy president Omega Sibanda for life.

However Chiyangwa has accused the football association of “running after his shadow.”

Responding to the matter Chiyangwa told ZimEye.com:

“This is a joke and it’ll remain a joke and people here want winners, they don’t want losers. These guys are all losers.”

“They should brace themselves for the worst in terms of a response that they will get out of all this nonsense. I am a Zimbabwean citizen and I’m entitled to mix and mingle I’ve never been involved with ZIFA or with anything to do with Kamanga (sic). I don’t waste my time.

But for them to be concentrating on following through a situation in which think they have been successful on me yet they have failed on the pitch… I am telling you where they are coming, it’s more dangerous than just looking at the pitch. It’s just looking at the pitch, but they have failed, that’s all. They are running after my shadow what have I done? “
