THERE is a fascinating piece of football history waiting to be written this season and the unfolding Premier Soccer League title race makes it even more intriguing.
Kelvin Kaindu is set to go head-to-head with Thabo Senong, the coach who was earmarked to replace him at Highlanders. Both tacticians have a point to prove, making this contest more than just a battle for the championship.
Kaindu knows the pain of coming close but missing out on the league title during his two previous attempts with Highlanders. This time, he will be determined to leave no stone unturned as he seeks to finally get his hands on the coveted trophy with Hardrock.
On the other hand, Peter Ndlovu’s Scottland are also in the hunt, and as a Highlanders supporter, I find myself in a difficult position. I do not want Peter to lose, neither do I want Kaindu to fall short.
Both have their own connections to Bosso and deserve recognition for what they have brought to the game.
My prediction is that both teams will win their remaining matches. However, Kaindu’s existing two-point advantage could prove decisive, allowing him to finally cross the finishing line and lift the championship.
Whatever the outcome, this is a compelling story for Zimbabwean football — two former
Highlanders figures chasing glory, with history and pride at stake.
