ZACC confirm raiding Highlanders offices amid suspected misuse of funds

BULAWAYO – Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) officials on Thursday, surprisingly raided Highlanders FC offices amid suspected misuse of funds and other cases of misconduct by certain club officials.

Bosso’s Acting Chief Executive Officer Kindman Ndlovu confirmed the visit to Sunday News.

According to the publication, ZACC has “launched inquiries into alleged irregularities involving player transfer deals and the management of club funds.

“The surprise visit has so far left club officials tight-lipped about the scope and implications of the investigation.

“While details remain scarce, sources suggest ZACC is scrutinising several transactions that have raised concerns among internal stakeholders and worried fans.”

ZACC spokesperson Simiso Mlevu confirmed the anti graft body received a formal report and was looking into the matter.

“ZACC confirms receiving a report of a case of corruption involving Highlanders Football Club, and investigations are ongoing.

“However, we cannot divulge any further details at the moment,” said. Mlevu.

There is chaos brewing within the Bosso camp with serious allegations of ghost workers on the club’s payroll.

The situation was said to have prompted the team’s unofficial sponsor, Sakunda Holdings, to summon the club’s hierarchy for a round table meeting in an effort to understand what’s really going on.

Adding to the turmoil, questions were raised about a senior board member who is believed to have misused club funds to cover unexplained hotel bills.

Another concerning issue is that an executive member stands accused of awarding himself a medical tender, reportedly directing all injured players to a hospital facility where he is employed.
