Chinomiswa Nani?
Maningi Youth Soccer Academy — founded in Dzivarasekwa, now home at Jerera Growth Point in Zaka. Seventeen goals in one perfect week: the rebuild is on, and Masvingo’s girl child is leading it.
The Maningi Queens
Nurturing Talents Since 2014
Since 2014
What started as a small group of football-loving kids in Dzivarasekwa, Harare has grown into a full academy — and in 2026 began a bold new chapter: relocation to Jerera Growth Point in Zaka, Masvingo Province, with a rural-centred development model.
The academy owns the former Zimbabwe Women Premier Soccer League outfit Maningi Queens FC. Recruitment now deliberately focuses on identifying and nurturing rural talent — giving the girl child in Masvingo a chance where none existed before.
