HIGHLANDERS board chairman Luke Mnkandla has expressed disappointment over the manner in which news of the deaths of the club’s executive members and a supporter spread on social media before some family members had been formally informed.
Speaking during a memorial service for the four, Mnkandla said the rapid circulation of the news had added to the pain of an already heartbreaking tragedy.
“I thought I had become hardened, but this has made me rather soft. I want to underline my unhappiness with some journalists on social media. The news was spreading before even the families knew,” said Mnkandla.
The football fraternity is mourning the loss of Highlanders chairman Kenneth Mhlophe, vice-chairman Fiso Siziba, treasurer Nkani Khoza and club supporter Mbalenhle Sibanda who died in a road traffic accident while travelling back to Bulawayo after attending the club’s Castle Lager Premier Soccer League match against ZPC Kariba at Nyamhunga Stadium.
