Highlanders' former players have reportedly approached former manager Jerry Sibanda not to put his name up for nomination for the post of secretary, to make way for another ex-manager Emmet Ndlovu in the impending elections.
Former players have agreed with Sibanda to run for the post of treasurer against Odiel Nkomo, whose term runs until the end of next year.
Efforts to get a comment from the ex-players' association secretary Netsai Moyo were fruitless yesterday, but another former player Zenzo Moyo previously urged ex-players to take up posts at the club.
The incumbent executive committee seems to have bowed to pressure by former players evidenced by the technical appointments made recently.
Chairman Themba Ndlela recently announced former players Kelvin Kaindu, veteran defender-turned-midfielder Bekithemba "Super" Ndlovu, and retired midfielder Amin Soma-Phiri, will make up the technical team.
Kaindu will be the head coach while Ndlovu will assist him. Soma-Phiri will be the manager.
Ndlela, Tapela and committee member Wisdom Mabhena have since confirmed seeking second terms in next year's elections.
Bulawayo businessman Mandla Moyo, who lost to Ndlela by 20 votes in the last elections, is challenging the incumbent once more for the post of chairman.
Mabhena will have to shrug off challenge from the late chairman James Mangwana-Tshuma's son, Jabulani and former club marshal Dingani Sibanda, who have also shown interest in the committee member's post.
