A bit of history:
Highlanders FC is a Zimbabwean football club based in Bulawayo. It was founded in 1926 as Lions Football Club. They changed their name to Matebeleland Highlanders FC in 1936 and only joined Rhodesia National Football League in 1966. In 1976, Highlanders got dissatisfied with the national administration led by Mr. John Madzima and pulled out of the RNFL and formed the South Zone Soccer League. In 1979, most Harare-based clubs saw the wisdom of Highlanders' decision and lent their support to the club against the injusticies of the national association, i.e unfair gate takings distribution, improper methods of accounting of finances, and that certain teams were being favoured. The National Professional Soccer League (NPSL) was then formed as a result.
