Nigel Munyati said ( about Kirsty Coventry ) : “The minister (Kirsty Coventry) was very concerned that we were going towards the end of the year (and) there were no tangible efforts to resume football. So the minister came to us and asked for ideas on how we could implement the resumption of football,” “That is how the mini league and the bubble concept came about. So we consulted and spoke to various stakeholders in football and the idea was that we would cascade it. We start with the main league which is the PSL and see how we can resume PSL in a managed and safe environment. There was no way we could say Zifa everyone can start playing football, so we asked them to work with us in this proposal which they agreed to and were actually going to implement. PSL was very happy, I can tell you that today”

Nigel Munyati said : "If you are depriving them the opportunity of playing in tournaments like the Cosafa Under-17 or the Africa Under-17 championship qualifiers you are denying them an opportunity to get exposure at international level at a crucial stage in their young careers.

Nigel Munyati said ( about Cuthbert Dube ) : "We thought the new administration would do things differently after making promises to do better, but they have gone on to do exactly the same if not worse, because at least the Dube leadership tried but the current leadership gave up without even making an effort," "To me, it's more lack of interest than genuine shortage of funds. They should have at least made an effort to fundraise. It exposes a current administration that doesn't care about football"
