Bosso Receive Mining Rights From Govt

In a major milestone, Bulawayo giants Highlanders have expanded their income generating initiatives by venturing into gold mining after being handed a mining claim in the gold rich area of Inyathi, Bubi district, by the Government.

The venture, a first by any local football club except for those whose owners were already in the lucrative industry like Bulawayo Chiefs and Talen Vision, will greatly see an improvement in liquidity terms by Highlanders who are at the present moment relying on the benevolence of its members and other well wishers following the withdrawal of their principal sponsors NetOne.

Sources said Bulawayo Provincial Affairs and Devolution Minister Judith Ncube was the brains behind the gold mining initiative after she reportedly asked why Highlanders were always carrying a begging bowl asking for donations to sustain the club despite its gigantic stature and the club’s ever open door policy when it came to national issues like participating in Independence Cup tournaments, anti sanctions movement as well as in sports tourism, marketing brand Zimbabwe.
