I have no faith in Highlanders technical team – Mandla Moyo

become the Highlanders chairman in elections which will be held at the club house tomorrow. He will face the challenge of former club secretary Peter Dube and incumbent chairman Themba Ndlela.
“You have more than 20 rookies and two new inexperienced coaches for a big club like Bosso yet those youngsters wanted a seasoned mentor,” said Moyo.
He said Kaindu might be having all the necessary papers but he lacks experience, a prerequisite for someone coaching a club like Highlanders.
He however could not say what he will do with the technical team in the event of being voted into office.
“My concern is that we should not promise our supporters the championship this year when we all know clearly that we do not have the material,” he said.
He castigated the Themba Ndlela-led executive for being indecisive, citing the failure to buy quality players during the second half of the season last year.
“Ndlela and company might have done well administratively but in football, success is measured in the field of play, period,” said Moyo.
Asked what he will do for Highlanders if voted into office tomorrow, the 2009 losing candidate said besides complementing the work done by the present executive he would make sure the team retains its lost glory.
“Bosso is synonymous with success and to an ordinary man in the streets it’s all about three points than a fat bank account,” said Moyo.
He acknowledged that the club is in serious debt. He said he was not coming in as a sponsor but a chairman.
Commenting on allegations that he is bankrupt, Moyo vehemently refuted reports that his properties had been attached because of debts.
His city complex was due for sale by public auction last week but the Messenger of Court was instructed to stop the proceedings at the last minute.
“Bosso had properties attached but does it mean that the club is not viable? For your own information my properties are going nowhere,” said the aspiring candidate.
When he was reminded that he lost the election to Ndlela and therefore what made him think he would win against two stalwarts this time, Moyo said he was the least worried.
“Winning or losing is not a matter of life or death, that is the democratic process we have at Highlanders,” said Moyo.
In a stunning parting shot Moyo said his heart will bleed more if he loses to one of the candidates.
