THE man of the millennium could easily be Zenzo Moyo whose goal scoring exploits in the 1998/ 99 and 2000 seasons helped the club to back-to-back titles.
Moyo was a darling of the era becoming a Soccer Star of the Year finalist and ultimately the golden boot winner.
He left for Cyprus in August to join Paphos Athletic Union, he had already scored 24 goals.
Zemura, as fans called him, had been snatched by Highlanders from Orapa United in Botswana just before the 1998/ 99 season started.
Having impressed at a social soccer tournament in Nguboyenja during the off-season turning out for a select side, Highlanders FC dispatched manager Ernest Sibanda to sign the player.
With that done, Moyo lived up to expectations immediately forming a combination of note with Thabani Masawi tearing defenders apart. The combination scored more than 50 goals in both cup and league games within two seasons.
Moyo a�� a lanky goal poacher was feared by defendersA� for his aerial supremacy.
It did not come as a surprise when theA� striker was a soccer Star Of the Year finalist in the process wining the golden boot in 2000.
Moyoa��s exploits saw him being recommended to Spiros Nicollau by Rahman Gumbo alongside Joel Luphahla in 2000 after the teama��s exit from the Champions League at the hands of Sable de Batie of Cameroon.
His move to Cyprus came on the heels of spirited interests from South African clubs Bloomfontein Celtics and SuperSport United who were keen on his signature. Moyo shunned to cross the Limpopo River and settled in Cyprus for five years before moving to Greece in 2005.
Moyoa��s ties with Highlanders were unbreakable as he made a return to Highlanders during the 2006 season and featured in the Champions League the following year against Aly Ahly of Egypt.
He also played in Greece but in Cyprus he made as much of an impact as he did at home.
