FIFA anti-corruption team expected in Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe Football Association vice president Ndumiso Gumede told The Associated Press that FIFA's head of security, Chris Eaton, will lead the anti-corruption unit.

The FIFA team will help conclude a drawn-out ZIFA probe which will likely lead to strict sanctions — and possible lifetime bans — for a number of Zimbabwe national team players after they admitted last October to taking bribes to lose matches on tours to Asia.

"They are going to meet people in an effort to bring this issue to finality," said Gumede, who led the internal inquiry for ZIFA. "Appropriate action will be taken on completion of the probe."

Wilson Raj Perumal of Singapore, who is now on trial for match-fixing in Finland, is suspected of also manipulating the Zimbabwe matches.

The Zimbabwe internationals could be the highest profile players so far to be punished in a new wave of crackdowns on match-fixing by football's world governing body.

Investigations are also under way in Finland, Italy, Greece and South Korea — and at a lower level in Malaysia and South Africa — while FIFA says it is looking at a recent friendly between Nigeria and Argentina as part of a wider probe into suspicious betting patterns and possible match-fixing.

No players in the Nigeria-Argentina match are accused of wrongdoing.

Last year, Zimbabwe captain Method Mwanjali and international team mates Daniel Verehmu, Benjamin Marere, Thomas Svosve and coaching team member Joey Antipas all made sworn statements admitting taking money to lose matches by specific scorelines on a 2009 tour to Thailand and Malaysia.

Zimbabwe lost 3-0 to Thailand and 6-0 to Syria and the players said they were paid between $500 and $1,500.

In his statement, Mwanjali also gave details of how a representative of betting syndicates — known to the players as "Raja" — even came to the team's dressing room at halftime to give instructions on how a game should finish.

ZIFA said in last year's proceedings that it was also investigating current Zimbabwe coach Norman Mapeza and about 20 other national and club players and football administrators. Matches on tours to Asia as far back as 2007 were also under suspicion, it said.

How to tie an African Head Wrap Gele in 3mins | African Clothes Store

The head wrap or head-tie plays an important part in Africa’s fashion styling, specifically in West Africa. There is a saying that “an attire is not complete until it is topped with a gele”.

This is one of the most frequently asked questions at African Clothes Store so we decided to put together this guide.  Below are step by step instructions that will show you how to tie an African head wrap or Gele.  But first here is a video tutorial:

Top Tips for tying a an African Head Wrap (Gele) Tying your gele is as easy as making a bow but more versatile. The following steps will work you through the basic styles. Head-wrap styles are as versatile as your imagination can take you. The weight, texture, and size of the fabric will affect the end result. For the basic style, use ½ to 1 yard of 100% cotton fabric. Always keep your head gear piece crisp with a spray starch for better results. Step by Step guide to tie a African Head-tie (Gele) Start by folding the head gear fabric (aso-oke) to a width of about six inches. This can be achieved by folding the piece in half lengthwise, and then folding again twice or so. Wrap the fabric around your head with the right side extending about one and half over the left side. Push in the left side but keep the ends out while crossing the right side over (on top of the left end); also keep the right-side ends out. Pull both ends as tight as desired. Push the left side while pulling the right side to get the desired comfort. Push in the right side only from where it touches the left side but without pulling it all the way through. This forms a bow. You may now move this bow to the front, to the side (left or right) or leave it on the back; the choice is yours. Spread out the two ends to obtain a rose petal look, or pin the two ends to obtain yet another look. The different possible styles and looks are endless. You’ll be surprised what you can achieve by experimenting. Finally…

There are different styles of head wrapping. Even an intricate-looking style starts with a basic procedure. We recommend that you consult an expert for help with the more elaborate and intricate styles. Most experts can look at a picture and re-create the style.
