The Council of Southern Africa Football Associations (COSAFA) will hold its Annual General Meeting (AGM) tomorrow morning at the Gaborone Sun Hotel.

COSAFA chief operations officer, Sue Destombes said the AGM will discuss financial matters and draw future plans.
"We also need to look at what has happened in the past 12 months. We will lay down some of the plans that we have as we look ahead," she said.

She said elections for the posts of president and vice president - presently held by Seketu Patel and Salemane Phafane respectively will be held next year. COSAFA members are Botswana, Comoros, Lesotho, Madagascar, Seychelles, Swaziland, Namibia, Malawi, Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Mauritius. Cuthbert Dube attends his first meeting as president of the Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA). Dube replaced Wellington Nyatanga as ZIFA head at the beginning of the year. He has been credited with dealing effectively with the national team's alleged Asia match-fixing scam. The subsequent investigations led to the dismissal of ZIFA chief executive officer (CEO) Henrietta Rushwaya. Botswana was faced with a similar fiasco which led to the firing of Botswana Football Association (BFA) CEO Mooketsi 'Tosh' Kgotlele.
