Charles Sibanda keeps Bosso guessing

HIGHLANDERS Football Club striker Charles Sibanda has kept the Bulawayo giants guessing on whether he will sign for the Bulawayo giants or move on.
Sibanda, who was erroneously denied the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League top goalscorer award and made to share it with How Mine's Kudakwashe Musharu, will officially cease to be a Bosso player at the end of this month following the expiry of his contract.
Sibanda is said to have scored 12 goals, the same as Musharu although the player and the club are putting his tally at a goal more than the How Mine star, something that concurs with what the media has got and previously raised.
His indecision seems to have something to do with Bosso's principal sponsors, BancABC's decision to slash their sponsorship package as a result of operational difficulties.
Last Friday, during the 2014 Stars awards banquet in the capital, Sibanda made everyone believe that he was staying with the Bulawayo giants when he told co-presenter of the awards, former Caps United dribbling wizard Alois Bunjira that Bosso will bounce back next season.
Responding to Bunjira's question on what went wrong to a season that looked so promising for Highlanders, Sibanda said: "It's true that it looked all so promising but the season just crumbled in front of us but I am sure we will get it right next season."
However, last night the player seemed to be indecisive.
"At the moment I have not signed anything with Highlanders, I don't think I will sign, especially with BancABC coming up with cuts like this," said Sibanda.
Close confidantes to the player though said his heart was still with Highlanders and rubbished claims that he will be joining Bosso's bitter rivals Dynamos.
Dynamos were also not spared the sponsorship cuts by BancABC.
