Highlanders Football Club will next month embark on a five day cultural tour of South Africa , as part of the club's 90th anniversary celebrations.
The club was formed in 1926 by Prince Rhodes Njube Khumalo. They were initially called Lions Football Club until 1936 when they were renamed Matabeleland Highlanders Football Club. The name Matabeleland was dropped in 1975.
The tour has been scheduled from February 18 to 22 and is open to present and former players, club officials, leaders and representatives of invited organisations, media houses and club supporters.
Bosso are also working on roping in the South Africa Football Association (Safa) to magnify the event and they will also explore the possibility of engaging surviving members of Njube’s family to visit Bulawayo.
Highlanders’ board member Luke Mnkandla confirmed the tour and said it was largely aimed at paying tribute to their founder as the club celebrates its 90 year milestone.
