THE walls of Highlanders Football Club are shaking, not from roaring fans but from a storm of explosive corruption claims following the dramatic resignation of Acting CEO Kindman Ndlovu.
Ndlovu quit last week in a letter that has rocked Bosso to its core. He pointed fingers at Finance Executive Nkani Khoza, accusing him of creating a toxic environment and undermining his authority. But instead of sympathy, Ndlovu’s detailed dossier has sparked outrage and suspicion, with some fans claiming the CEO jumped ship to avoid being exposed.
“This letter is smelly,” fumed Mandla Tshuma from the Bosso Cowdray Park Chapter. “He’s trying to cover his own tracks and protect his inner circle. Why only now, when things are closing in?”
The resignation has dragged skeletons out of the club’s dusty cupboards and it’s not pretty. Allegations are flying about fraudulent contracts, inflated player signing fees, and officials pocketing kickbacks. Some players who barely make the match-day squad are reportedly raking in suspiciously generous packages, while hard-working regulars are short-changed.
Adding fuel to the fire, a senior executive is accused of steering injured players to his private clinic, pocketing money in the process.
“It’s no longer football,” said one insider. “It’s a feeding trough for the connected.”
The storm comes as Highlanders limp through a poor season on the pitch and face their biggest battle off it.
Fans are now demanding a full forensic audit and criminal investigation. With trust in the club’s leadership at an all-time low, calls are growing louder for the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) to step in and clean house.
“Enough is enough,” said one furious fan on social media. “Bring in ZACC. Bosso is being looted while we watch!”
The crisis also highlights years of instability in the CEO’s office, a revolving door of short-lived tenures and explosive exits. The treasurer’s office is no better, with Bosso’s latest audited accounts reportedly getting a disclaimer of opinion — the most damning verdict possible from auditors, who basically said the club’s finances are in such disarray they can’t verify a thing.
In the face of such damning revelations, only one question remains: Who’s looting Bosso and who’s next to fall?
