Former Fifa employee Veron Mosengo-Omba has been appointed the new General Secretary of the Confederation of African Football (Caf). The Swiss-Congolese replaces Morocco's Abdel Bah, who had occupied the role in an acting capacity since March 2020. Mosengo-Omba has left his role at Fifa, 'with immediate effect' according to the global body, where he had recently been working as Chief Member Associations officer. 'On behalf of all of Fifa, we would like to thank Veron Mosengo-Omba for his excellent work,' said Fifa President Gianni Infantino and General Secretary Fatma Samoura in a joint statement on Saturday.

Fifa also looks forward to working with him on future projects in helping to project African football to the summit of world football.' Mosengo-Omba's appointment will raise further questions about the role of football's world governing body in Friday's African elections. An old friend of Infantino after the pair read law together at university, the Swiss-Congolese was one of two Fifa employees spotted talking to the four then presidential candidates in Morocco two weeks ago. In the Moroccan capital Rabat, it was mooted that Patrice Motsepe would become the new Caf president with the other three assuming secondary roles. That has now come to pass with Senegalese Augustin Senghor and Mauritania's Ahmed Yahya being named first and second Caf vice-president when the body's new Executive Committee met for the first time on Saturday.

BBC Sport Africa has twice asked Fifa why Mosengo-Omba and Fifa's Deputy General Secretary Mathias Grafstrom were meeting with the candidates in Rabat on 27-28 February, but has not received a direct answer. A quote by Infantino was suggested instead, with the Fifa president having said, on 6 March, when explaining his widespread travels across Africa in recent weeks: 'It is no secret that Caf has been facing some difficult times. 'So it is an opportunity to look forward to speak with everyone, to try to help African football in whichever way we can,' he replied, having also been asked if Fifa had a preferred candidate. 'I personally spoke with all four candidates for the presidency and many other presidents of associations, and I can confirm there is plenty of common ground between them.'

BY TERRY MADYAUTA FORMER Zimbabwe national football team midfielder Lazarus Muhoni has warned of the potential hazards that the Warriors could face if the Zimbabwe Football Association (Zifa) fail to organise preparatory matches for the team ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers coming up this November. Zifa have already ruled out organising friendly matches in the Warriors’ run-up to the qualifiers, while other nations such as Zambia and South Africa have already scheduled preparatory matches. Coach Zdracko Logarusic will be working with the players for the first time having been idle since March. A fortnight ago, Zifa president Felton Kamambo cast doubts on the possibility of playing friendly matches as a result of the restrictions imposed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While Zifa are reluctant to organise friendly matches for Warriors ahead of the crucial qualifier for Afcon 2021 to be staged in Cameroon and World Cup 2022 to be hosted by Qatar, their Cosafa counterparts, South Africa, Namibia and Zambia will be fine-tuning their squads in friendly matches slated for next month. South Africa is set to take on Namibia on October 8 at the Independence Stadium in Windhoek and has also booked Zambia for a friendly date at Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenburg on October 13. Africa has five slots at the World Cup, which means 10 group winners will advance to the final round of qualifying matches to determine the representatives after two-legged affairs. Muhoni feels that the Warriors’ chances of qualifying could be compromised if preparations are shoddy. The Warriors are in for a tough schedule starting in November, where they will face Algeria on November 9 and 17 in the Afcon qualifiers before clashing with Zambia and Botswana in one window between March 21 and 30 next year. In an interview with the NewsDay Sport, Muhoni said Logarusic would be under pressure to deliver under difficult circumstances.“This is a big blow for the team and nation as a whole,” Muhoni opined. “Despite the fact that we are in a difficult time where there is the coronavirus, Zifa should at least organise one or two friendly matches for the team. “If not, we’ll have to accept that we have slim chances of progressing because of ill-preparedness. “The friendly would make it easier for our coach who is new and foreign to get a better understanding of the players and also for him to establish combinations rather than the see-as-you-go approach we are taking. “Even a school student cannot go into a final examination without preparing and expect to pass. Likewise we must do that so that our coach gets to combine the players that could be at his disposal.” He said not all the foreign-based players that are likely to be invited for the November matches have been enjoying regular game time, hence the need for friendlies. “Obviously, foreign-based players are going to form the backbone of the team but not all of them have been in action, hence the need for testing of our squad’s strength before indulging,” he said. The former Dynamos midfielder c
Ramaphosa said that we can expect a vaccine by 'the second quarter of 2021\" and assured South Africans that funding is being urgently sought.
