Highlanders Axe Kaindu

Bosso has pulled the trigger, parting ways with gaffer Kevin Kaindu. The Bulawayo giants confirmed the departure via an official club statement, citing a “recent streak of unsatisfactory results” as the breaking point.

Kaindu, who took charge in January 2024 after signing in December, possibly failed to meet the executive’s mid-season targets, leaving Highlanders languishing in 9th place with a mediocre return of 23 points from 17 games (5 wins, 8 draws, 4 losses). The writing was on the wall after a string of underwhelming performances that left fans frustrated.

In a swift reshuffle, first assistant Try Ncube steps up as interim boss, with legendary Agent Sawu moving into the No. 2 role. The rest of the technical team remains intact, but the pressure is already mounting as they prepare for a baptism of fire against high-flying MWOS FC this Sunday.

Barbourfields Stadium will host the crunch encounter, a grim reminder of Bosso’s opening-day 1-0 defeat to the same opponents. MWOS, sitting pretty in 2nd with 34 points, pose a formidable challenge for the Bulawayo-based side.

The timing of Kaindu’s dismissal raises eyebrows—was the axe premature, or was the club justified in demanding better returns? With the PSL’s second round underway this coming weekend, Ncube and Sawu must rally the troops quickly. Their task? Reignite Bosso’s faltering campaign and salvage pride for one of Zimbabwe’s most storied clubs.

One thing’s certain: the Bulawayo faithful will demand an immediate response. Sunday’s showdown isn’t just a test of tactics—it’s a litmus test for the club’s direction in this turbulent new chapter.

Your thoughts? Can the interim duo maintain stability, or is this the beginning of a more profound crisis?
