The Sports and Recreation Commission has suspended the remaining members of the Zimbabwe Rugby Union National Executive Board and the National Executive Committee from all rugby administration and activities in the country.
In a statement, the SRC said: “The remaining members of the Zimbabwe Rugby Union National Executive Board and the National Executive Committee have been suspended from all forms of rugby administration and activities in Zimbabwe, including but not limited to holding office under the Zimbabwe Rugby Union.
"This follows a resolution of the Board of Commissioners of the Sports and Recreation Commission (SRC) passed on the 9th of September 2025.”
The suspension was made in terms of Section 30 (1)(b) and (c)(i), as read with Section 19 (a), (b) and (c), and Paragraph 23 of the Second Schedule of the Sports and Recreation Commission Act (Chapter 25:15). The SRC clarified that the suspension will remain in force until the next ZRU elections.

According to the Commission, the decision was necessitated by the ZRU’s failure to comply with Section 29(8)(b) of the Act. The statement explained:
“The SRC issued a show-cause order on the 4th of September 2025, which resulted in the resignation of eight members of the ZRU National Executive Board.
"No representations were filed by the remaining members of the ZRU National Executive Board, hence the SRC invoked Section 30 of the Sports and Recreation Commission Act.”
The Commission added that it will inform the nation in due course about the strategic direction of the ZRU.
