Former Zimbabwe Football Association Chief Executive Officer Henrietta Rushwaya who is facing charges of corruption, bribery and match-fixing is expected to appear in court tomorrow.

Sources reveal that the investigations which are currently underway are likely to rope in more football officials.
The development has seen the Zimbabwe Football Association suspending 82 players who were believed to be involved in the scam.
