Highlanders are being sued by their former welfare manager, Vezigama Dlodlo.
According to NewsDay, Dlodlo is seeking over US$44,000 as compensation for medical expenses incurred following an injury sustained while on duty, among other issues.
The former welfare manager, through his lawyer Thulani Ndlovu of Ndlovu Legal Practice, claims that he was injured while performing his official club duties.
Vezigama was involved in a traffic accident in May 2023 on his way to Matopos for the club’s camp ahead of the Bulawayo giants’ league tie against Dynamos at Barbourfields Stadium. Following the accident, he was replaced by Netsai Moyo.
The money Vezigama is claiming also covers winning bonuses for four matches and laundry services.
The former manager also said that despite making National Social Security Authority (NSSA) deductions, Highlanders failed to remit the same to the pension body, depriving him of compensation.
Highlanders were given a seven-day ultimatum to respond to Dlodlo.
