FC Wangu Mazodze Notice of Withdrawal From the Pacific Storm Eastern Region Soccer League
Following the incessant victimization from the ERSL through biased improperly constituted tribunals of facts and persecution through prosecution, the Family Trust has engaged the Executive Chairman of FC Wangu Mazodze to with regard to the same.
It is common cause the the Pacific Storm ERSL doesn’t have an elected leadership and its statutes are ultra vires the FIFA and ZIFA statutes. The current leadership are de facto not de jure hence the doctrine of necessity applies as established in the Madzimbamuto v Lardner-Burke and another [1969] 1 AC 645. However this does not give the same people a free reign to exercise unfettered powers manifesting as Wednesbury unreasonableness.
Football by and large is entertainment and our decision to participate was merely for the sake of the community which we felt we belong to and have to provide entertainment as part of the citizenry despite the serious corporate governance issues we have witnessed inter alia;
1. The 2024 Season when one regional executive member followed our team to all the last matches and threatened match officials to work against us.
2. The 2025 Season when frivolous charges were raised against us so as to get Triangle FC promoted. A legal malfeasance where the chairman of it wrote a 21 page folktale guised as a judgement without citing any legal precedent or authority. Shockingly the legal mercenary even failed to appreciate the difference between promulgation and adoption of statutes. For the record, the decision led to the relegation of the club after we refused to pay the fine and we only participated in 2025 through invitation because due to the poor reputation, the region is failing to attract sponsors.
It is with a heavy heart that some unelected people who have never contributed anything to football are destroying and frustrating those who are contributing to the development of football.
The attempt to soil our brand because an individual has confronted an alleged baby father is a domestic issue not connected to football.
In 2024, we were made to endure this same situation and this blackmail attempt which has started several years ago in a bid to make us pay money for promotion to the PSL.
Our position has always been clear that we will never bribe anyone to gain promotion to the PSL.
We are fully aware of the influence and the bad blood between FC Wangu Mazodze and The ERSL Administrator Ms Fungai Munyoro-Chingaira who participated in the last quasi - judicial endeavor to assist the promotion of Triangle FC who are currently facing relegation in the PSL.
The initiation of unfounded and frivolous charges against the club mirrors the June 28th 1914 Sarajevo moment when Archduke Franz Ferdinand Carl Ludwig Joseph Maria of Austria was assassinated by Gavrilo Princip.
The ridiculous step by the Pacific Storm ERSL to charge us on allegations of supporters insulting opponents during the match is childish and reckless because Mawadze J has already clarified on the issue of exceptions in State v Sikhala and abnormal insensitivity is not an excuse.
In the event that sanity doesn’t prevail, the allocated budget for the 2025 football season will be channeled to promote social football in the communities.
We have engaged the Executive Committee Chairman and if the frivolous charges aren’t withdrawn by the close of business on June 02nd of 2025, we will automatically leave the Pacific Storm Eastern Region Soccer League without further notice.
The Zhalala Zhululu brand will never die and will reincarnate in other various forms for its part of the community and its entertainment ecosystem.
By order of the board.
