Following Highlanders F.C.’s 1-0 victory over Dynamos F.C. in the Jairos Jiri Charity Cup at Barbourfields Stadium on Sunday, businessman Wicknell Chivayo presented the team’s management and coach Benjani Mwaruwari with luxury cars worth US$317 500.
Chivayo has also disbursed the remaining US$500 000 — part of the US$1 million he pledged last season — to the club.
Coach Mwaruwari has been gifted a brand-new 2026 Ford Everest 3.0D L.E (Limited Edition) valued at US$92 000, while club board chairman Luke Mnkandla will receive a Toyota Fortuner 2.8 4×2 GD6 worth US$80 500
Chief executive officer Denzil Mnkandla and Highlanders Legends chairman Madinda Ndlovu will each receive Toyota Fortuners valued at US$72 500.
Chivayo, who has declared his fervent love for Highlanders — inspired by his uncle, the late former Vice-President John Landa Nkomo — said the win over DeMbare signals good things ahead in the upcoming 2026 Castle Lager Premier Soccer League season.
“A motivated and well-led team will always deliver results. Highlanders FC’s 1–0 victory over DeMbare clearly shows that Bosso is on the rise. We are surely set for an exciting 2026 Premier Soccer League season in which Highlanders FC will offer stiff competition against all odds,” Chivayo said.
The club leaders are set to collect their vehicles on Friday, accompanied by club curator Jabulani Nkomo, who administers Highlanders funds from Chivayo.
“In recognition of this win, I say congratulations to the leadership of Highlanders FC. They should request the club’s curator, Jabulani Nkomo, to accompany them to Harare on Friday to see Victor at Exquisite Car Dealership and collect the fully paid motor vehicles,” Chivayo said.
