THE Premier Soccer League has acceded to Highlanders’ request to raise charges for their blockbuster fixture against Scottland at Barbourfields Stadium this Sunday.
Rodwell Thabe, the Premier Soccer League acting chief executive confirmed that Highlanders had sought permission to hike gate charges.
Nozibelo Maphosa, the Highlanders spokesperson confirmed that they had raised gate charges for the tie.
Rest of ground tickets have been pegged at US$5, VIP US$10 and VVIP US$20, up from US$3, US$5 AND US$10 respectively.
“Yes our charges for the match are true. This is a high-profile match,” said Maphosa.
Highlanders still smarting from their 2-2 draw away at Greenfuel on March 16, will be eager to add more ammunition to their side with players that they had not yet registered following a transfer ban after they failed to pay former coach Baltemar Brito.
Highlanders and Scottland have drawn good crowds to stadia so far.
Meanwhile, former Highlanders match day marshal and security for over four decades, Mkhulunyelwa Ndlovu better known to Bosso followers as Bhibhiza was laid to rest at Luveve Cemetery yesterday.
He passed on at his Luveve home last week on Thursday. He had been unwell for some time.
He was in his 60s.
Scores of people from all walks of life came to bid farewell to a true Bosso son who risked limb and life for the club. He had permanent physical scars from his battles with opposition fans.
“It’s a great loss, he was very passionate about the club. He loved Bosso with his whole heart may his family be comforted. Sehambile umdala weBosso,” said ex-Bosso coach Mandla “Lulu” Mpofu.
