HIGHLANDERS have opened the nomination process for the election of a chairman, secretary-general and committee member, with Saturday, January 20, set as the closing date.
The elections will be held a week after the club’s annual general meeting set for January 28. The elections are set for February 4.
In a statement yesterday, Bosso said candidates can collect nomination papers at the club offices.
“Aspiring candidates must obtain appropriate nomination forms from the club office, 50 Robert Mugabe Way, for which a refundable fee of US$200 is payable should a candidate poll over 10 percent of total votes cast.
“The closing date for submission of the completed forms will be Saturday, January 20, at noon.
“Payment for forms can be done at the office or through the bank,” read the statement. The three positions up for grabs are held by Johnfat Sibanda (chairman), Morgan Dube (secretary-general), and committee member Mgcini Mafu. For the chairmanship, Sibanda will battle it out with former banker Eddison Dube, former chairman Kenneth Mhlophe and South Africa-based Nodumo Nyathi.
The last time the post attracted more than two candidates was in 2012 when Peter Dube beat Themba Ndlela and Mandla Moyo.
In the secretary-general’s race, Dube is set to be challenged by Nsikelelo Mafa-Moyo.
The committee member race is also set to be a tightly-contested one with Bheka Sibanda and Kindman Ndlovu seeking to replace Mgcini Mafu, who is yet to declare his candidature.
Former club administrator and first team manager, Raerburn Ndebele, is believed to be keen on the post.
