Highlanders acting CEO Kindman Ndlovu makes return after dumping job
As Bosso takes measures to manage reputational damage to the brand
By Auther Chimbgwa
Highlanders acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Kindman Ndlovu has rescinded his resignation as club boss following frantic boardroom repair work that saw him return to the lofty job.
Ndlovu abruptly resigned as Highlanders boss on June 26 citing persistent interference with his job by club executive member (finance), Nkani Khoza.
Ndlovu was appointed acting CEO three months ago in the wake of fraud-accused Brian Moyo’s resignation from the job.
Ndlovu’s move, some say, is a reflection of the turbulence currently rocking the club’s cockpit.
His resignation could have marked the fourth CEO change in the last year for the Bulawayo based outfit.
Fearing potential reputational harm to the club’s brand, the Highlanders leadership moved in to rectify the dispute, resulting in Ndlovu’s return to the position.
A press statement by Highlanders Executive Committee said Ndlovu would remain the acting CEO until such time that a substantive boss is appointed.
“Highlanders football club would like to inform its stakeholders that after successful engagement the executive member technical and development Kindman Ndlovu remains the acting CEO until such time a substantive CEO is engaged,” said the club.
Highlanders said the club leadership upheld the spirit of peace and tranquillity as well as respect for one another and the Highlanders brand.
