Minister of Sports Anslem Sanyatwe has appointed a new Sports and Recreation Commission board led by Dr. Nathaniel Madzivanyika.
The new board is replacing the Gerald Mlotshwa-led executive, which ended its tenure in May.
Mlotshwa's board stayed for six years after it was trusted with another three-year term in 2022 by the then Minister of Sports, Kirsty Coventry, following the expiration of its first term, which had started in 2019.
