Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Highlanders Football Club has said first-team players will have their salaries paid by the club\u2019s main sponsors, Sakunda Holdings.<\/p>\n

Last month, Highlanders secured a six-month sponsorship deal with Utande to cover salaries for the 27 first team contracted players from September until February next year in a deal worth ZWL$3.6 million.<\/p>\n

After Bosso sealed a deal with Sakunda, they activated a clause in the agreement signed with Utande when they entered into a partnership.<\/p>\n

This entails that funds from Utande will no longer be used for players\u2019 salaries and will be channelled to other use at the club.<\/p>\n

Sakunda was recently unveiled as the main bankrollers for Highlanders and Dynamos, with the company to give both clubs US$890 000 per year over a period of three years, with the sponsorship worth US$5.3 million.<\/p>\n

Nhlanhla Dube, the Highlanders chief executive officer yesterday said that now that Sakunda has come in as main sponsors, funds from Utande will no longer be used for remuneration.<\/p>\n

On the Highlanders first-team shirt, Dube said Sakunda will take the space on the chest, Utande will occupy space on the back of the shirt.<\/p>\n

As part of the sponsorship from Sakunda, Highlanders and Dynamos were given cars to be used by coaches as well as captains of the two clubs.<\/p>\n

Dube said that the cars were given to the two clubs for use by whoever is the coach and captain at the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
