By A Correspondent-Zanu PF Bulawayo provincial youth league executive member and Minister of Environment, Tourism and Hospitality Industry Nqobizitha Mangaliso Ndlovu has hijacked Highlanders Football Club.

Ndlovu recently bought a Highlanders membership card and said that he was charmed by newly elected club committee member Mgcini Mafu, who visited Plumtree on Saturday to thank members for voting him into office.

According to the state media, Ndlovu was one of seven supporters that were recruited by Mafu and his campaign manager Noah Mpofu in the border town that has a vibrant supporters club chaired by the late former chairman James Mangwana Tshuma’s son Jabulani.

“We are privileged to have such a high ranking government official joining our club. We had fruitful discussions with him. He said he will do everything in his power to assist the club in its programmes and this might even open avenues for corporates to come in and sponsor into yabantu,” said Mafu.
