Highlanders Football Club faces criticism for keeping secret the names of three candidates interviewing for chief executive today. The Bulawayo-based team belongs to its community and fans expect open hiring practices. Club officials received applications but refuse to reveal who made the shortlist for the top job.
Football experts say the club should publish candidate names and hold public interviews. They argue that secrecy damages trust between the team and supporters who consider themselves owners. The CEO position carries major public responsibility and candidates should expect community scrutiny.
Some defend privacy to protect current employees applying for the role. Critics call this excuse weak since the CEO job puts anyone in the spotlight anyway. They worry about behind-the-scenes deals that shut out fan input.
Highlanders must choose between secret selections and transparent processes. The club draws strength from passionate supporters at Barbourfields Stadium. These fans deserve to know who wants to lead their beloved team and why each candidate qualifies for such an important position.
