‘Manyovu’ finally cleared to ‘Bull’

- BY PHOLSILE HLOPHE

MBABANE – It is now officially a done deal.

Royal Leopard have finally cleared speedy forward Bonginkosi ‘Manyovu’ Dlamini to Mbabane Highlander­s. The clearance was confirmed by Highlander­s Public Relations Officer (PRO) Mandla Madonsela yesterday afternoon. Highlander­s have been longing to field ‘Manyovu’ after signing his contract early last month but could not utilise this ‘weapon’ pending Leopard’s clearance of the player upon his return from Angola side, Sagrada Esperanca.

Documents

Madonsela said the club authoritie­s had to ensure that they secured the player’s clearance documents yesterday, which was the deadline of the registrati­on period which closed at midnight. The player was anticipate­d to debut last weekend but Leopard prolonged the wait and had assured to clear him on

Monday (yesterday).

Madonsela also confirmed the signing of former Tinyosi (now Ezulwini FC) player Ndumiso ‘Skhokho’ Shongwe and Enzo Motsa who were their latest additions. Motsa has already had game time as he came in as a substitute for Philani Mkhonto on Sunday, where Highlander­s settled for a goalless draw against Denver Sundowns.

Clearance

“Finally, we have acquired ‘Manyovu’s internatio­nal clearance from Royal Leopard. Our administra­tors were at Sigwaca House this morning (yesterday) to finish his transfer. As for the other players’ contractua­l agreements, that is between the players and the employer,” Madonsela said.

Meanwhile, ‘Manyovu’ has already missed three games while awaiting his clearance. Highlander­s fans can expect to see the player in action this weekend, as he may debut in the MoMo Cup semifinals.
