AT least 300 delegates are expected to attend the annual Sport Leaders Institute of Zimbabwe winter camp slated for Kariba this weekend where Kenyan Anti-Doping Agency and Research Director Agnes Wanjiku Mandu will be the guest speaker.

Former Buymore, CAPS FC and Lengthens striker More Moyo and other prominent sports stars will also grace the occasion.

The symposium comes against the backdrop of the successful hosting of the inaugural autumn camp by the same institute. SLIZ president, Russel maradza Mhiribidi, who is also the Southern Africa Region representative for the African Sport Management in Africa, said all is set for the winter camp.

“We are expecting a bumper attendance at this winter camp. The stage is set and at least 300 participants have already confirmed their presence at the seminar. We have invited the Director Anti-Doping Agency and Research for Kenya, Agnes Wanjiku Mandu, to be the guest speaker.

“She will be accompanied by her colleague Thomas Kipkemboi. Besides the Kenyan pair, there will be a lot of presenters like More Moyo and the SRC’s Joseph Muchechetere.

“Stakeholders from different sectors are coming for the event and we intend to inculcate teamwork and share ideas in a relaxed atmosphere,” he said.

Mhiribidi said interest in the programme was growing.

“The initiative has grown in leaps and bounds since 2011. We held our first winter camp with only five delegates in attendance and but here we are now.”
