In an official statement issued on Friday, the Bulawayo-based giants clarified that the club had not made any report to ZACC, the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP), or any other investigative authority regarding any internal matters.

The club further affirmed confidence in its own internal systems, stating:
"The Club has effective administration processes that can deal with any issues of concern."
Highlanders also reaffirmed its commitment to adhering to both local and international football governance standards, highlighting its affiliation to the Premier Soccer League (PSL), the Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA), and the global football governing body FIFA.
The club cited FIFA statutes on independence and governance, particularly Article 14 (Independence of FIFA and its member associations) and Article 19 (Governing bodies and autonomy), underscoring its commitment to safeguarding operations from any external interference.
"As a member of the Premier Soccer League (PSL), an affiliate of the Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA), under the auspices of FIFA, the club is committed to upholding the rules and regulations of FIFA and ensuring that governance and operations are free from external interference," the statement read.
