Crowdfunding helps clear Bosso debt
“Amazing, amazing, amazing it has been in the Highlanders FC debt clearance campaign. We have sent $410 000 to the club and will be finalising reconcilliations in the coming days. We can safely say we have done it. The club will be making payments and when completed they will update us,” said Nyathi.
Throughout the campaign, names and amounts contributed were being published for transparency purposes.
The project initiators said they will discuss with other members on the possibility of another initiative to raise funds for the club.
“On the 11th of August 2020 we will open discussions about the way forward post the debt clearance,” said Nyathi.
Canada-based Bosso life member Sidumisile Ntini said the debt clearance campaign is testimony that the club still has people that value its existence.
Ntini was part administrators.
“This campaign has shown that indeed Highlanders is a great institution, whose of the campaign’s survival depends on its followers. At a time when the club’s existence came under scrutiny, its followers, card carrying members and noncard holders joined hands to have a debt free Bosso.
Our hope is that now that the debt has been wiped out, let’s guard against making the same mistakes that led us into such a mess. Long live Highlanders,” said Ntini.
The club is expected to issue a statement today. — @ZililoR
