The unveiling of Ndlovu and Manhire ends weeks of speculation following rumours the pair had departed Highlanders to put pen to paper with the Platinum miners.
Alongside Ndlovu and Manhire who were both key figures for Bosso last season, the Norman Mapeza coached side unveiled four other acquisitions; Shephard Mhlanga (ex-Chicken Inn FC), Davison Marowa (ex-Herentals), Bothwell Tinashe Nzori (ex-Black Mambas), and goalkeeper David Bizabani (ex-Greenfuel).
The 2018-2022 champions also promoted Anesu Chirinda and Tapiwa Revesai from their under-19 team.
FC Platinum will be looking to reclaim their title after losing out to Ngezi Platinum last season. The Zvishavane based outfit finished a distant fourth, behind eventual champions Ngezi Platinum, runner up Manica DIamonds, and third placed Dynamos who will be participating in the CAF Confederation Cup.
The club is already in pre-season training at its Mandava base.
