Veteran broadcaster Ezra ‘Tshisa’ Sibanda has slammed the Highlanders FC leadership for its failure to deal with the mounting financial woes saying it is embarrassing to see players and leaders of such a big team ‘kneeling, praying and begging Madzibaba for donations.’
Ezra took to Facebook to address the cash strapped football club saying its leadership should be looking into other avenues for income generation than being over excited about the mining claim they received from government.
He said, “Highlanders FC should never be too excited about the mining CLAIM given by the government believing it will solve all its financial problems. A claim is not a mine, you are not guaranteed to produce the mineral you want.
“Bosso should explore other avenues to solve the financial problems at club not going to VaPostori Churches and Individuals for donations.
“To see players and Bosso leadership kneeling, praying and begging to Madzibaba for donations in the bushes was so embarrassing for a club of Bosso’s stature. It was a PR disaster, we simply don’t have good leadership and change is need ASAP.”
In October last year Bosso players attended Madzibaba Mutumwa’s services seeking divine intervention.
Ezra went on to attack the club which is currently in talks with Chinese investors to help them with the gold mine operations. He said, “We can’t always rely on donors, this club has a big name but weak leadership.
“Highlanders shouldn’t face financial problems with such a huge name. We have players going for months without their salaries yet people in the offices are getting paid without problems. Why do we pay people to sit and do nothing but let players suffer.”
He also accused the club leadership of getting their positions through corrupt ways.
“We have unelected board members illegally running the club because of weak leadership which surrendered everything to them. Bosso has never experienced such chaos in its entire history and it’s a shame. Time for leadership renewal.” Nehanda Radio
Zvakasiyana chii nekuenda kwaMagaya? Just because uyu Muposotori?
Kkkkkkkk
Wats wrong with that?
This was not a donation. They went for prayers and I see nothing wrong there. Ezra should stop these lies.
Ah what’s wrong with that wena muntu
Where are the donations? Spiritual donations you mean?

Zim times
Football clubs in Zimbabwe are not concerned by the welfare of players. Players are taken as cash cows ,so embraced by our soccer bodies
There is absolutely nothing wrong with players going on a personal service before oMadzibaba. It’s their right
Ezra is being derogatory
What’s wrong with kneeling and praying,don’t you Tshisa put God first?
Blame the government not club management.Its tough and demanding can suggest any solution….
Khudah Chirembah as much as government is to blame,the same people when bosso elections come they don’t want to let others lead
What can you expect from a Zimbabwean football club except some funny shit stories.Poor talent, poor money, evil club management.Maybe that’s why SADC soccer is bullshit. Nothing good concerning football will ever come out of SADC because everything here it’s just 💩.I think it’s a waste of time to play your soccer in Zimbabwe because anything in Zimbabwe that is managed by black people normally turns into shit, they manage football clubs as if they are managing public toilets on a taxi rank full of shit. Youth from Zimbabwe must be encouraged to quit play soccer and try other sports like cricket, rugby etc.These old , selfish fat cats must have a shortage of soccer players then we can see if they will be able to play the game alone without any soccer players.This is bullshit communist stuff going on at Bosso, we are sick and tired of these corruption stories in our soccer clubs please, have mercy on our players
