"Highlanders Ignored Security Advice On Transporting Gate Takings"

Highlanders Football Club, arguably the local club that draws more fans at its home games, has been accused of ignoring security advice against transporting cash from their gate takings using unescorted private vehicles.

The Chronicle reported that two female employees and a member of the executive allegedly took over US$5 000 after the Sunday match without any security escort.

The publication cited sources as saying the incident occurred soon after the counting of total gate takings and doing reconciliations from their league match against FC Platinum at Barbourfields Stadium on Sunday where 11 046 fans were in attendance.

Two employees and one executive member (names supplied) were reportedly observed packing the money into plastic containers before walking out and getting into a private vehicle and driving off. Said a source:

At the pre-match meeting, it was clearly stated that clubs must engage CITs from reputable security companies to transport cash, especially now that fans, a majority of them, pay using forex.

That advice was obviously directed at Highlanders who are in the habit of doing that.

It was therefore surprising that a few hours later, they did exactly what security at the pre-match meeting had advised against.

It was not clear whether the money was being taken to the club offices or not.

Highlanders communications and marketing officer Nozibelo Maphosa could not reveal whether the trio’s actions were with the consent of the club, or the club has a contracted Cash-in-transit (CIT) van. She said:

We are not aware of such allegations, and for obvious security reasons, we cannot divulge to the public how we transit our cash.

On 29 September 2015, then Highlanders secretary Emmet Ndlovu was robbed at gunpoint at Edenvale in South Africa.

The robbers got away with US$300, P300, and R25 000 of club money.

How much is the cost of CIT services? How much was it going to cost them for the $5000? Sometimes common sense needs to be applied, that is, should they lose the takings to thieves or to the CIT service.
