Highlanders Chief Executive Officer Sihlangu Dlodlo was found dead at his Bulawayo home yesterday on Monday and the cause of his death is still unclear
He was 60 years old.
A Facebook post written by Dlodlo on the 16th of October is now being perceived by Bosso fans and soccer loving Zimbabweans to be a suicide note in the aftermath of his death.
The now former Highlanders CEO wrote, “A nice way to end the drama and nonsense that happens at funerals is to die alone at home and rot for a week or so until the neighbours see green flies by the windows, and the police arrive to recover your remains in a zinc coffin and open truck and take you, hopefully to Kings and Queens.
“That way there will be no body viewing. It’s straight to Luveve Cemetery. By the way, please don’t bring flowers sweethearts.”
Dlodlo joined Highlanders in April after taking over from Ronald Moyo who resigned in February.Prior to joining Bosso, Dlodlo previously worked for Innscor and Lobels as a Marketing Executive and General Manager respectively.
His passing is a major loss to Highlanders FC, where he was appointed CEO earlier this year, and to Zimbabwean football as a whole.
