Highlanders Football Club would like to extend its sincerest gratitude to Mr. Wicknell Chivayo for his generous gesture in settling the outstanding debts of our two coaches in full, as promised.<\/p>\n

Sir Wicknell has always been a big supporter of ithimu yezwe lonke, and since 2017, he has given the club tangible support.<\/p>\n

As we prepare to celebrate our 100-year milestone, Bosso is assured of his continued kindness to this great institution.<\/p>\n

Once again, we express our deepest appreciation: Siyabonga, Tatenda, Taboka.<\/p>\n
