Regulators of public institutions in Zimbabwe are expected to take part in the inaugural sports tournament scheduled for this Saturday at University of Zimbabwe grounds starting at 8am.
The regulators among them IPEC, ZERA, ZINARA, ZINWA, BAZ, POTRAZ and RBZ will participate in an inaugural sports tournament, a brainchild of POTRAZ.
According to POTRAZ director general, Dr Gift Machengete said the tournament was meant to foster synergies.
“The tournament is meant to foster collaborative regulation through interaction whereby regulators get to understand and appreciate each other’s’ roles and functions so that they can find areas where they can cooperate.
“The tournament which is open to members of the public also affords regulators a platform to showcase their services to members of the public. All this is in line with international best practice,” Dr Machengete said.
He said sports have the power not only to unite but also bring many people together.
The event mooted by Dr Machengete begins with aerobics at 7:45am then a draw will be conducted before the games commence.
The closing ceremony will be held at 4pm with a keynote by Dr Machengete.
“Sport is a good way of harnessing friendships. Having people gather in formal settings may defeat the objective of creating lasting friendships. The idea came about after realising the need to foster synergies among regulators as a way of promoting collaborative regulation which is now international best practice,” Dr Machengete said.
Some of the exciting games that people can look forward to include women’s soccer.
