Highlanders Football Club has appointed Nhlanhla Dube as the club’s substantive chief executive officer. Dube takes over from Ndumiso Gumede, and signed a two-year renewable contract. Gumede was initially suspended from all football activities by Zifa in November 2016. However, the sanction was lifted later and Gumede subsequently retired. Secretary-general Emmett Ndlovu has been acting as the CEO since Gumede’s banishment.
Said Dube after his appointment:
I’m very humbled to be appointed CEO of such a big club and I am aware of the task ahead of me. I will do my level best to live up to what I have been appointed to do and ensure that Highlanders as a club is a force to reckon with. Remember that my position as CEO has football content in it. I understand what we want to achieve and that’s creating an academy, making sure that our facilities are user friendly and that we have adequate playing staff.
