HIGHLANDERS members as well as supporters based in Plumtree have made a financial contribution to the towards the first team’s resumption of training.
A member of the Plumtree chapter, Godfrey Ncube delivered the cash in Bulawayo on Friday which was handed over to the Highlanders office staff on the same day.
The chapter, which has 26 members at the moment had promised to contribute something to assist the team to cover costs of training resumption after an engagement with the new Highlanders committee member, Mgcini Mafu who visited the border town on Saturday, a few days after his election.

Mafu has hit the ground, meetings planned with Esigodini, Hwange, Gweru, Victoria Falls and Harare based Highlanders supporters.
