A doctor of philosophy law student in the United Kingdom, who is also a Highlanders member, has pledged a BMW 3 series car for use by the high-flying Highlanders coach Kelvin Kaindu.
His gesture was in response to members' cries on a social network.
Twenty-six-year-old Tshepo Mabalane Mabalane responded to supporters cries on social network site, Facebook, who felt it was not good for the coach to travel using public transport to matches and training sessions.
"It's basically not a donation but I will be letting it be used on a yearly basis, some more people could come with more gestures and we could do big things together," said Mabalane from his base on Tuesday.
Highlanders secretary Andrew Tapela confirmed that they did have a discussion with Mabalane who promised to ship the car from the United Kingdom by August.
"At the moment we cannot give an official position as the club until all the paperwork between us and Mabalane has been finalised and besides I am yet to brief my colleagues in the executive about the development. It's a welcome development though," said Tapela.
Mabalane said barring any eventualities, the car could be in Zimbabwe as early as next month but the latest should be August.(He is also a home boy of mine from Luveve and and I am proud of him)www.ikho..
"All I want is for the club to guarantee me that the car will be well looked after, nothing else, because Highlanders is a big institution that cannot have its coach walking to work when even some of his players are driving," said Mabalane.
