HIGHLANDERS Football Club supporters have gone on an overdrive to raise money to bail out a colleague who damaged a television set at the clubhouse and was ordered by the court to replace it.
The fan, only identified as Bhebhe, was taken to court by the club for dropping and damaging a clubhouse television set at the pub, valued at US$1040. Running under the banner, “Amaphutha ayenzeka Lets Help Bhebhe”, contributions have been sought via several social media platforms, with the raised figure at just over US$300 this afternoon (Monday).
According to a report by zimstarnews.com, Bhebhe was reportedly dancing when he damaged the TV. Before the incident, witnesses said Bhebhe was asked to move away from the television but ignored.
Security indicated in its report that Bhebhe attempted to run away through the gate leading to a nearby supermarket but was apprehended and handed to the police.
The Highlanders facility, a pride of the Zimbabwe giants in a country where most football clubs do not own clubhouses, is accessible to fans who often indulge in booze and braai during and outside match days.
Bhebhe appeared before a Bulawayo magistrate recently and was handed three months imprisonment, wholly suspended on condition he pays US$100 fine or ZiG equivalent and restitutes the complainant in the sum of US$1 040 by 30 August 2024. (zimstarnews.com/Sports Reporter)
