BULAWAYO \u2013 Highlanders Football Club has officially confirmed the receipt of a second payment of US$250,000 from businessman Sir Wicknell Chivayo, bringing the total funds received to US$500,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This latest tranche is part of a larger US$1 million donation pledged by Sir Chivayo to support the club throughout the 2025 season. According to a club statement released on Tuesday, all funds are being managed through a curator and held in a trust account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a statement signed by the Club’s Executive Chairman, Retired Colonel R. Mhlophe, Highlanders detailed how the significant financial injection is being utilized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The fund has largely been used to finance the player’s welfare; including winning bonuses, travel expenses and match allowances,” the statement read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was further revealed that part of the money is earmarked for infrastructure development, specifically “to upgrade the training pitches and build a perimeter wall at the Highlanders clubhouse.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The club expressed profound gratitude for the support, stating it believes the contribution will positively impact the team’s morale and on-field performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The Club would like to greatly appreciate the generosity and support from Sir Chivayo,” Chairman Mhlophe stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The club sincerely appreciates this kind gesture and continues to look forward to further support, promised by Mr Chivayo.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This substantial donation from Chivayo is seen as a major boost for one of Zimbabwe’s most storied football clubs, providing crucial financial stability for both immediate operational costs and long-term infrastructural projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
