The team signed only one striker before the close of the January transfer window, Stanley Ngala from FC Platinum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/HLTr91OAOOZ3jHdEI7418Z\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Team gaffer Mandla Mpofu is so confident of his new signings. He is happy with his team as preparations are going well so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Thursday Highlanders held a pre-match press conference were Mpofu said that he is focused on this coming match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Before the break we were struggling here and there, that is history now we are back in business. Our focus as a team is to play against Hwahwa and get three points.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the coach, one problem has been solved, he believes the coming in of Stanley Ngala is a solution to &#8216;goal drought&#8217; problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Ngala is here to prove a point he is here to score goals, at Platinum he was given less game time but whenever he had a chance he scored.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;He has been scoring goals during our training, in our next match if he does not score I think he will assist,&#8221; added Mpofu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It seems Mandla Mpofu is not yet satisfied with the players he signed for Bulawayo giants Highlanders. He is still craving for more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On his wishlist he had two strikers Stanley Ngala and Obriel Chirinda. While he managed to sign Ngala he failed to get Chirinda&#8217;s signature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We still have an opportunity to bring in some new players especially the strikers. I think we need one or two strikers.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Highlanders brought in goalkeeper Raphae Pitisi from TelOne, Rahman Kutsanzira and Stanley Ngala both from Zvishavane side FC Platinum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bulawayo giants are currently sitting on position 16 with one point from three outings. On 6 November last year they played against Black Rhinos away from home and lost by two goals to nil, in their second match against Ngezi stars and salvaged a point after the two sides drew 0-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Highlanders went on to lose to well resourced side Manica Diamonds by a goal to nil away from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bosso find themselves in an unfamiliar position in the Premier League and if they lose to Whawha, they will sink deep onto the danger zone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bosso Coach Predicts Win Against Hwahwa 17 February 2022Jeremiah HarrisonSports Reporter BULAWAYO giants Highlanders head coach is confident of scooping 3 points in the Castle Larger Premiership week 4 clash&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":357,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-847","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/847","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=847"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/847\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":848,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/847\/revisions\/848"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/357"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=847"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
