Fifa ordered Zifa to sanction anyone involved.
The allegations of match-fixing centre on a tour where Zimbabwe lost 3-0 to Thailand and 6-0 to Syria.
Apparently,The money was sent from the betting syndicate to Zifa chief executive Henrietta Rushwaya.Zifa programmes officer Jonathan Musavengana is also accused of receiving "a bunch of US dollars" from a representative of the syndicate. The saddest thing when people are ready to jeopardise the success of the their team because of a little greed

Henrietta Rushwaya

Rushwaya and Musavengana, have been serving suspensions since the inquiry began in August, both  deny the allegations but we all know its not like they're gonna come out and say 'Yeah we did it so what'
Though Method Mwanjali, who captained Zimbabwe on the tour, says that a man from Singapore, alleged to be the agent of a betting syndicate sat on the bench during some of the games.
"Raja [the agent] had come to our dressing room before kick-off and told us to lose to Thailand by 1-0. We were supposed to concede a goal in the 20th minute," Mwanjali told the Zifa inquiry.
"We were scored in the 44th minute but not by design. For that Raja was visibly angry and came to the dressing room at half-time and blew his top."
"We were handsomely paid $1,000 [about £600] for losing. The money was paid at the airport as we were about to go home."
