What Highlanders need right now

The Highlanders Football Club Annual General Meeting for 2012 will the focal point to many people for the good conduct of attendees. Despite the poor attendance, the reports on money issues showed some improvements.

Trying to be apolitical, the budget deficit was reported to be down while match attendance went up. Projected expenditure is at $660 000 to be financed by $$651 000. (Read What Highlanders need right now!)

The meeting almost started with 95 members, that figures rising to an encouraging 173. The club books have about 4000 paid up members. Simple put, the audience could not fill three rural buses. They deserve a huge pat on the back for attending.

The official Technical Team was confirmed as; Head Coach - Kelvin Kaindu to be assisted by Bekithemba Super Ndlovu while goalkeepers will be Tembo Chuma's responsibility. Amin Soma-Phiri will manage the players' welfare. The team Doctor is Dr Xolani Ndlovu while Loyal Nyika will be the Physiotherapist.

The Highlanders Academy will be handled by Dan Ngwenya in the under 14 age group, with the under 16 given to Gift Thebe Lunga. Siphatho Ncube will be in charge of the under 18 and the Division 2 side will be under the tutelage of Mark Mathe. Welfare Manager in that department will be 'My Tshomie' Smart 'Smitsho' Moyo.

The club has $9 000 to raise assuming the are vehicle to pump the $651 000 into the Club's bank account. Given the distance of willing donors who need the means to do, have made it look like empty pledges the promises of people from social sites.

The diasporians can easily be the solution to this small amount. This week will see the launch of the e-book,which is a personal project, whose proceeds will shared with Bosso, subject to their approval. The online book will be available at a neat price from the very popular Amazon.com and is titled What Highlanders need right now!

I trust you will be able to google the book and have all your social network friends get a copy without having to borrow from you. A good response will result in the print copies being made available even for those who do not have gadgets to read e-books.

Blackberry, iPhones, iPad, Androids, Kindle, Windows phones, iOS, Mac OS X and practically any tablet computer with the reader application will be able to open the book.

Post on your Facebook Walls and Twitter accounts and send e-mails. If the project gets viral, Bosso could receive their first pay cheque less than 90 days from now.
