In a post on X formerly Twitter seen by NewsReportzim.com Nick Mangwana in his defence over the allegations raised by Temba Gorimbo that the SRC shun him when he wanted to use thr national flag on his outfit. The SRC purported that Temba is not registered with the appropriate organisation.
“At no point was a request ever made to the Minister of Youth, Sport, Arts & Recreation. Even if he had done so, the Hon. Minister would have directed the request to the SRC for processing.
The SRC strives to ensure equal opportunities for all regarding sport and recreation matters.
In doing so, the SRC is guided by the SRC Act as supported by policies in executing its mandate. All athletes and registered national sporting associations are encouraged to follow these as they conduct their various sporting activities. Whilst the comments of Mr Gorimbo are regrettable they should not detract from his considerable achievement.
The SRC takes this opportunity to congratulate Mr. Gorimbo on his win and wish him all the best in his sporting endeavors.
The SRC will continue to try and contact him and his management in order to ensure that no similar misunderstanding occurs in future.”
