ARIEL Sibanda, the Highlanders captain, has invited club benefactor Wicknell Chivayo to one of the club’s matches.
Sibanda requested Jabulani Nkomo, who is in charge of the disbursement of the US$1 million donated by the philanthropist at the Highlanders offices.
The occasion was to announce and also confirm that the first US$57,000 of the US$250,000 released by Chivayo had since been acquitted.
Last week Highlanders players and technical team were paid their signing-on fees and other outstanding dues from 2024.
On behalf of the players the Highlanders captain said they were grateful for what Chivayo had done for the club and added that it was a big motivation and wished that someday the businessman comes to Barbourfields to watch the boys.
“We got the winning bonuses. We would like to thank Sir Wicknell, the boys are motivated, some day we will be happy to have you come to Barbourfierlds and watch the boys, a big thank you, may God replenish more where you took from,” said the soft-spoken former Goalkeeper of the Year.
Coach Try Ncube said they will urge the boys to reciprocate the favour with good performances.
