Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Highlanders Football Club has announced that it has entered into a partnership deal with Utande Internet providers that will see the latter paying salaries for the club\u2019s first-team players.<\/p>\n

The Bulawayo-based Castle Lager Premier Soccer League giants announced on Saturday:<\/p>\n

We are glad to announce that we have tied down a six-month partnership deal with Utande Internet Service providers.<\/p>\n

In this arrangement, Utande will take care of the first team players\u2019 salaries.<\/p>\n

The agreement is effective from 1 September.<\/p>\n

In June this year, Bosso players embarked on a strike and refused to train in the build-up to last Sunday\u2019s Chibuku Super Cup clash against Bulawayo City over poor salaries.<\/p>\n

Highlanders Football Club reportedly topped up players\u2019 monthly salaries by US$70 after the intervention of the Footballers Union of Zimbabwe (FUZ).<\/p>\n

The club admitted its struggles and appealed for assistance after failing to raise funds to pay salaries for June.<\/p>\n

Highlanders\u2019 treasurer, Donald Ndebele sent out a passionate public appeal to members, fans and sympathisers saying the coronavirus pandemic had affected the club\u2019s revenue streams.<\/p>\n

Local football was banned last year following the outbreak of the coronavirus and temporarily resumed this year before being banned again as new coronavirus infections and deaths increased.<\/p>\n
