It is amazing what one week of seven days can do. Just last week, Highlanders fans were on top of the roofs celebrating the teams assurance to clinch the 2013 Championship title. The Mbada league Championship is said to be the richest league Cup in the country. Bosso who are lead by Zambian Coach Kelvin Kaindu has not lived up to the expectations of many loyal fans this season. Most notable when the team failed to beat Dynamos at home about three weeks ago. The whole Highlanders community on the social networks was mourning. However the past week saw the Highlanders seriously gaining advantage over their lifetime rival Dynamos also known as Dembare , thanks to Chicken who beat Dynamos 2 nil to allow fellow Bulawayo neighbors to put icing on the cake. Alas, this glory was short lived as Highlanders went to be beaten by Harare City.
To add salt to injury, the Bosso head coach KK, as they call him was not at home during the two last games. He is said to be away in Europe advancing his coaching career course. For most of the fans on face book the first game the loss of the first game was forgiven, but this one has the fans totally outraged. Ezra Tshisa Sibanda a die hard Highlanders fan could not hide his anger as he wrote on his face book status two days ago. Sibanda lamented Kaindu's lack of commitment towards to team's success to championship as evidenced by his absence in the crucial stage. One of the loyal fans Maduma Fuzwayo a former aspiring MP for Gwanda and a business man also took to the social network blaming Ezra, Madinda and many others for allegedly strategizing against the people's coach Kelvin Kaindu. Tshisa who is also a former aspiring MP for Lower Gweru and a former DJ also went back to the social network to hit back at his critics after Tshilamoya's most disappointing loss in Rufaro on Sunday.
Most fans went soul searching as reality sinked in that the title might not be coming to Bulawayo anytime soon. Some credited the Harare City for their fast pace game and maximizing long balls. There are strong fears that if Kaindu's team fail to take the title this could be his last season with the Bulawayo giants. There are some who are also advocating for the team to look into local talent form Matebeleland saying that a lot of players are coming from Mashonaland and therefore lack pride in black and white colors. Meanwhile it remains to be seen if by any chance Bosso with one game in hand might lift the prestigious Cup. Mathematically its still possible but chances are now slim since the team is now in a third place. In Both games he left assistant coach Bekithemba Ndlovu in charge of the team. Ndlovu is also a former Bosso player who played alongside Captain Biya Ncube. Kaindu who is a man of faith and prayer will need every miracle he can get . Despite not having a Championship on his hands, KK is credited for taking the team to a new level since he took over last season.
