Ahead of tomorrow’s election, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) is to go ahead with a disciplinary case against Phillip Chiyangwa, the chief of the Council of Southern Africa Football Associations (Cosafa.)

According to Ceoafrica, Chiyangwa is an outspoken critic of Issa Hayatou and describes himself as the campaign manager for Madagascar FA president Ahmad, who is running against Hayatou in tomorrow’s CAF presidential election.

CAF said Chiyangwa's recent actions and statements appear to “attack the honour of the CAF, its president and the members of the executive committee”.

CAF decided to proceed with the case against Chiyangwa, the Zimbabwe's football association president, at its executive committee meeting in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on Tuesday, two days before the election.

Earlier this month, Chiyangwa escalated his war of words with CAF when threatening legal action against both Hayatou and the organisation's Secretary General, Hicham El Amrani.
