HIGHLANDERS supporters based in South Africa have launched an ambitious crowd-funding exercise to raise R30 million (about US$2
million) as part of their efforts to help the country’s oldest football club clear a crippling debt, according to The Herald.

The initiative is the brainchild of the
chairman of the Bosso South Africa Chapter Members, Nodumo Nyathi, one of the club’s most passionate fans who hopes to tap into the pockets of one million supporters of the club with each donating R30 towards the Bosso cause.

Nyathi has been working in South Africa for some time now but such is his passion, for his beloved Highlanders.

‘’Highlanders FC SA Chapter Members will be at BF on Sunday . . . we are Bosso . . . as we get ready I would like to remind our lads that
we are fully behind them,’’ posted Nyathi on his social media page.

‘’Can they emulate the yesteryear stars? This is what we were used to . . . Fully packed BF from 12pm and enjoying such display of trophies we had won.’’
Highlanders have been choking under the weight of the debt, which soared past the $1 million mark this year and it has affected some of the club’s operations in recent years.

Nyathi believes he could have found a way to raise enough funds to clear the debt by targeting, at least, a million Bosso fans to donate R30 (about $2 each) towards the fund
with the money then being channelled into the Bosso coffers.
