Ndebele wants to change things at Bosso

“I want to be the agent for change and have Highlanders and football touching the world,” said Ndebele. He comes up against incumbent Andrew Tapela and Emmett Ndlovu a long serving employee of the club.
The 45-year-old city businessman, who is a former Zimra officer, said he was motivated by the desire to change the approach in football matters. He said despite being recreation football had since changed to big business and hence the need for a business approach.

“My motivation is that there is a need to change the approach to football matters, it’s now more than a game and recreation, we need to treat it as business. I believe in business there are responsibilities each one has to perform in an area of expertise, I have offered myself for the post of secretary. It is where I believe I could better serve my club Highlanders,” said Ndebele.
He said once in office he would enhance communication lines within the club for members and also other stakeholders. He would use traditional methods of newsletters and present ones through information communication technology so that club owners get to know what is happening first.

“We direct communication with members, newspapers and other national media forums see our information being released to wrong hands first, our members are priority number one.
“We have to do things right to get sponsorships for both the football and the club.

“Once voted in we will push for a stakeholders meeting with business community, members, executive, board, sympathisers and supporters on the way forward to the club.
“They all have good views on what can be done for the club, once we harness that we can then move forward with a common goal of serving Highlanders. Conflict management is an area we need to address as a club so that we speak as one voice, this thing of camps must be done away with,” said Ndebele.

He said another of his areas of concern would be to come up with a document on the club’s junior policy. This, he said, would be the backbone of the team in the long run through good networking with schools where boys and the talent are.

A senior scout leader in the city who has been to countries such as Brazil and Taiwan, Ndebele said he would use that to network for the betterment of Highlanders.
