Gonzalez named new Simba SC CEO to replace Mazingiza

Simba SC have appointed Barbara Gonzalez as the club’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) with immediate effect.

The club’s executive committee meeting chaired by the chairman Mohamed Dewji and held on September 4, 2020, unanimously reached the agreement to appoint Gonzalez, who becomes the first lady CEO in Mainland Premier League history.

The seat for CEO fell vacant at Simba after South African Senzo Mazingiza quit to join rivals Young Africans (Yanga SC) in a different capacity.
