The Commission’s Board expressed gratitude for Nengomasha’s contribution, citing her role in “strengthening governance structures and stakeholder engagement across the sporting sector.”

To ensure continuity, the SRC appointed Peter Mudzimiri, the Director of Legal and Corporate Services, as Acting Director-General with immediate effect.
