THIRD CEO FOR BOSSO THIS YEAR

Lovemore Dube

SEASONED football administrator Brian Moyo became the third Highlanders chief executive inside a year when he was appointed to the post yesterday.

Moyo, 53 replaces Sihlangu Dlodlo who died three weeks ago.

Dlodlo had taken over from Ronald Moyo in April whose contract at the club had lapsed.

Brian takes over Bosso at a time when there is so much pressure for the institution to turn its popularity into equity and discard the begging bowl syndrome that has been part of its existence.

Highlanders is Zimbabwe’s most followed club, in terms of spectator attendances at stadiums, and plays to big audiences all over the country.

It provides smiles to local authorities, the Sport and Recreation Commission, ZIFA, the Premier Soccer League, private security companies and informal traders.

Club chairman Kenneth Mhlophe confirmed Brian’s appointment yesterday afternoon.

“Highlanders Football Club is pleased to announce the appointment of Brian Moyo as its new chief executive officer, effective immediately,” said Mhlophe.

Moyo who has worked at the Sport and Recreation, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Higher Education, Zimbabwe Cricket and as ZIFA education officer, has been described as a seasoned administrator.
