FORMER Highlanders FC chairman Themba Ndlela has taken legal action against the Bulawayo club over a $9 000 debt owed to him.
According to sources, the ex-Bosso boss engaged a lawyer from a city law firm (name supplied) to help him recover his dues after Highlanders failed to respond to three letters of demand he wrote to them. The club received the last letter last month.
Bosso, according to sources close to the law firm, were given up to yesterday to pay the debt.
Contacted for comment, Bosso chairman Dube could neither confirm nor deny the litigation case.
"I cannot waste time validating your story. Anyway, assuming that I confirm if it's true, how does it benefit Highlanders or even Ndlela.
"Instead of people looking at ways to help the club in a more positive way, they are busy feeding you with such information.
"Let me not comment any further since you have said your sources told you the matter is in court because that might turn out to be sub judice," said Dube.
Highlanders are going through a difficult financial patch. Ndlela inherited a debt of more than $40 000 from Ernest Sibanda's led executive and it ballooned to more than $400 000 during his tenure. The present executive is grappling with a debt of more than $500 000.
Ndlela was Highlanders' chairman from 2009 to February 2012 when he lost the elections to Peter Dube.
