The players, according to Swallows General Manager (GM) Sandile ‘Beyond 2000’ Zwane, were no longer in the plans of gaffer Caleb Ngwenya for the remainder of the season. A source close to the red and white capital city giants revealed that the trio were verbally told that they were now surplus to requirement two days before the second registration window

BABANE – Reigning MTN Premier League Player of the Season Sabelo ‘Sikhali’ Ndzinisa was on target in their game against Tambuti yesterday, netting his 10th goal of the season.
The former Mbabane Highlanders and Mbabane Swallows deadly striker scored the first goal in their 2-1 win over the Lubombo-based side to take his tally to 10, just four goals shy from leading scorer in former teammate at Swallows Felix ‘Fela’ Badenhorst, who visited the back of the net 14 times so far this season.
Deadlock
According to reports from KaLanga Technical Centre where the game was played, ‘Sikhali’ broke the deadlock just nine minutes into the match and Colani Dlamini scored the winner six minutes after the half-hour mark to bag the full points for the Ernest Mavuso-led side as they extended their lead at the summit to four points.
However, it can all be back to within one point this afternoon as second-placed Young Buffaloes play rookies Seven Dreams.
Leading
Green Mamba are now leading the pack with 43 points after 18 outings and have gone nine games without dropping a single point.
The Mandla ‘Stofu’ Dlamini-coached side have a game in hand after their match against rookies Nsingizini Hotspurs was cancelled after 26 minutes of play due to persistent rain which waterlogged the Nsukuwansuku Stadium in Mhlume last Sunday.
Buffaloes play at the Prince of Wales Sports Ground at 3:30pm.
