Chivayo in US$1m Bosso pledge

FINANCIALLY struggling Highlanders Football Club have received a shot in the arm after businessman Wicknell Chivayo yesterday pledged a US$1 million sponsorship package towards the team to “secure new talent and cover player sign-on fees to foster a more competitive 2025 Premier Soccer League”.

He said the package, which includes an immediate injection of US$250 000 towards various administrative requirements, will run over the next year.

Announcing the sponsorship on his social media handles, Chivayo, who said he is an avid Highlanders supporter, said the package is in honour of his uncle, the late Vice-President John Landa Nkomo.
