Highlanders CEO Suspended Amid Player Transfer Fraud Probe
For all the News from Mashonaland Central, Join One of Our Groups:
Highlanders Football Club has suspended its Chief Executive Officer Brian Moyo following allegations of financial misconduct involving US$5,000 in player transfer dealings. The suspension, confirmed on Thursday 3 April 2025, comes after club officials discovered discrepancies in documentation related to the acquisition of two players from Bulawayo Chiefs.
Sources reveal Moyo allegedly presented an inflated US$23,000 invoice to the club’s board for the transfers, while the actual agreed fee stood at US$18,000. The irregularity was reportedly uncovered accidentally during routine financial checks, prompting an emergency meeting of club executives. Moyo, who only assumed the CEO role four months ago, now faces an internal investigation that could determine his future at Zimbabwe’s historic football institution.
The scandal has rattled the Bosso faithful, with supporters demanding greater financial transparency from club management. “This undermines trust in our administration,” lamented a member of the club’s Eastern Stand supporters’ group. Meanwhile, football analysts warn the controversy could destabilize team operations as Highlanders prepare for crucial league fixtures.
In a separate development, sources have linked a former Dynamos executive now at another top club to alleged misuse of Sakunda Holdings player sign-on fees. While details remain unclear, these parallel scandals have sparked wider concerns about financial governance in Zimbabwean football.
