‘Bull’ test for stuttering Nsingizini
MNSINGIZINI HOTSPURS VS MBABANE HIGHLANDERS
BABANE – This week sees the second round of the MTN Premier League continuing and past games have proved to entertain supporters all over the country.
This week, the major talking point is the epic game between Nsingizini Hotspurs and Mbabane Highlanders. The latter are currently unbeaten in their last three games in the league and this game is not to be missed this weekend. Nsingizini Hotspurs under the leadership of Malawi-born gaffer Gerald Phiri come into the game with so
KEY PLAYERS:
Nsingizini: Thubelihle Mavuso, Mayibongwe Mabuza, Sambulo Simelane
Highlanders: Siyabonga Mkhonto, Philani Mkhonto, Musa Mamba
HEAD-TO-HEAD MATCHES 2022/2023 season
20/11/22 Highlanders 1-0 Nsingizini
Sambulo Simelane will be on their best on the day to give Highlanders a tough time.
Highlanders, on the other hand, will be crossing fingers and hoping that attacking midfielders Bonginkosi Dlamini and Ndumiso Shongwe will both have recovered from their injuries.
Highlanders’ past three games have proved that they are not a side that can be taken lightly after avoiding defeat in both fixtures against leaders Buffaloes.
Intend
Highlanders will use this match to show their loyal supporters, who have been with the team all season in great numbers, that they intend to do better than last season, showing where they finished on the second position behind Leopard who went on to win the league.
The Solly Luvhengo-led side have not lost a match against the Shiselweni-based side and will be using that as a motivation to win the match.
The last time these met was in November last year and Highlanders won by a solitary goal, courtesy of attacking midfielder Philani Mkhonto’s penalty.
The game will not be easy for Phiri and his players and if they will come with the mindset of the past six games in the league, they will not be getting any points against a Mbabane Highlanders team proving to be a hard nut to crack.

“I swam one mile and it was easy. I felt I could have done the two miles. I was impressed with my time as it was my personal best time in the one mile. I used to clock 30 minutes in the one mile and I feel good that I broke my own record.”

“Today I did the two mile race and it went well. It was really an enjoyable experience and I love being around everyone. I was happy to represent my team well. I did not have a target on this race but I wanted to gauge myself on where I am in terms of my speed. My target this year is to come back with medals in World Championships and CANA Zone IV.”
