HIGHLANDERS’ Mbada Diamonds Cup winning coach, on holiday back home in Zambia, is still a happy man after ending Bosso’s seven-year silverware drought.He guided the Bulawayo giants to a 3-0 walloping of How Mine in the final played at Barbourfields Stadium on November 23 through goals from Njabulo Ncube, Peter Moyo and Masimba Mambare to take revenge against a team that beat them twice in league matches.
