In a statement, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Youth, Sport, Arts and Recreation Dr Thokozile Chitepo said the engaged members represent a variety of expertise and skills in different sectors of the economy and society.
“These appointments are with immediate effect and members are expected to provide strategic direction coupled with strong regulatory oversight over the subsector and in line with the law,” said Dr Chitepo.
The board has its work cut out, as there have been efforts by private players to support boxing but they has always been sentiment that national support would go a long way.
