BULAWAYO giants Highlanders Football Club have been plunged into further turmoil following the resignation of Acting Chief Executive Officer, Kindman Ndlovu, just days before a crucial Castle Lager Premier Soccer League encounter against high-flying debutants, MWOS.
His departure comes barely a week after the sacking of head coach Kelvin Kaindu, signalling mounting instability at the revered Bosso camp.
Ndlovu tendered his resignation on Wednesday, citing what he described as a toxic working environment.
In a letter addressed to club chairperson, Kenneth Mhlope, Ndlovu indicated that he has worked under difficult circumstances for the past 10 weeks, claiming that an executive member, Nkani Khoza has been interfering with his work and trying to divide the club.
Interim coach, Try Ncube, who replaced Kaindu, has his work cut to save the situation at the Bulawayo giants.
“This week’s events affected us, especially on the first day, morale was down but we managed to raise morale in the boys and we have seen an improvement. We expect a win come Sunday,” he said.
Highlanders are set to host MWOS at Barbourfields Stadium this Sunday in a match that carries both competitive and symbolic weight.
Bosso are keen to exact revenge on the newcomers, who stunned them in the season opener.
