Highlanders football club paid off massive player debts after receiving cash from wealthy businessman Wicknell Chivayo. The team cleared 57 thousand dollars in outstanding bonuses and signing fees from the 2023 and 2024 seasons. Jabulani Nkomo handles the money and confirmed players finally got their overdue payments. The club received the first part of Chivayo's one million dollar sponsorship deal. Officials promise to spend the remaining funds wisely on team improvements.
Construction crews will finally build the long-awaited perimeter wall around the Highlanders clubhouse. The 800 meter wall stands three meters high and was planned years ago during former CEO Ndumiso Gumede's time. Chairman Kenneth Mhlophe gave permission for the project to restart with Chivayo's financial backing. Workers already have some building blocks ready from previous attempts. The completed wall will protect club property and give Highlanders a more professional appearance.
Club bosses set up a special trust account to manage the sponsorship money transparently. Nkomo explained that accountants and lawyers trusted by Chivayo handle all financial decisions. The donor pledged the million dollar package in memory of his late uncle Vice President John Landa Nkomo. Players and coaches believe the cash boost will improve team morale and performance. Highlanders face GreenFuel at Barbourfields Stadium on Sunday feeling confident about their future.
