ABOUT
About Nyasha
My journey is defined by a passion for legal excellence and a deep commitment to the world of sport and governance.
As a Registered Legal Practitioner, Conveyancer, and Notary Public and a member in good standing of the Law Society of Zimbabwe—I serve as a Senior Associate at Hove Legal Practice.
Here, I specialize in providing strategic legal solutions, drawing on years of practice to guide clients through complex corporate and property matters.
Beyond my practice, I leverage my legal acumen to shape sports administration on a continental and global scale. This includes my current work as an Independent Counsel to the Oversight Committee of Asia Rugby, where I consult for World Rugby. I have also served as a FIFA Consultant, working on critical governance reforms as a member of the ZIFA Normalisation Committee and the ZIFA Electoral Committee.
Furthermore, I contribute to the growth and integrity of Olympic sport as a Commissioner on the Zimbabwe Olympic Committee Legal, Governance, and Member Services Commission.
I am also the Founder of the Afro Sports Tourism Summit, an initiative dedicated to unlocking the economic potential where African sports and tourism converge.
