Newly registered Zimbabwe Electronics Games Association (Zega) has set its sights on hosting its maiden national tournament next month following its registration as a fully-fledged national sports association with the Sports and Recreation Commission (SRC) early this week.
Zega founder and president Sydney Savanhu said although they are still a young federation, having been registered by the SRC on Monday, they were ready to roll out several activities to popularise the sport.
“E-sports is one of the fastest growing sports in the world right now, it is now a multi-billion dollar industry globally, and Zega along with other members are very grateful to SRC for their guidance and support during the registration process. We are really excited, as a new-born baby we look forward to making the sport the biggest in our country,” Savanhu said.
