Top official in race to Parly

- By Shwashwaza Crew

For obvious reasons, he is yet to make his bid official but those around him have confirmed the interest. For us the neutrals, this promises to be one of the most interestin­g elections.

Mama you taught me to do the right things So now you have to baby fly

You’ve given me that I will need

To make it through this crazy thing called life

And I know you watched me grow up

And only want what’s best for me

And I think I found the answer to your prayers

And he is good, so good He treats your little girl like a real man should

He is good, so good.

On another lovely Saturday sesitselek­ile unannounce­d Gazi.

It is getting chilly with each passing day but rest assured we will always heat things up for you kwatsi Saturday nje.

As singena with a 2016 classic by Carrie Underwood titled Mama’s song, we are taking things slow.

The song by the American Country music giant is more relevant on a week when we have been celebratin­g our mothers.

Mistake

let your everything

I know some mistake Mother’s Day as a time for celebratin­g ‘baby mamas’ or wives.

It is strictly our mothers Gazi (including step mothers), who should be celebrated for bringing us up and their commendabl­e role in shaping our future. Alucondze lulwimi.

Gazi it has been a very hectic week headlined by a grand finale of the MTN Premier League.

Sitsi Luma Nyoka for surviving one of the tightest MTN Premier League races. Indlela iseyindze as they are about to prepare for the big stage.

Focus shifts to conquering Africa in the continent’s premier club competitio­n styled CAF Champions League.

Hambani ke nihlabane.

We feel like the season has ended prematurel­y but it is an advantage for the Premier League of Eswatini (PLE) that will have enough time to scout for sponsors.

Fans craved for these knockout tournament­s and the seven-team MoMo Cup back in October last year was supposed to set the tone.

Umgodlagod­la wetfu uyaphuphum­a Gazi and we already feel like a mosquito at a nudist camp.

We are still to negotiate with U-Mlangeni who is in charge of the weekend sports section to soon give us at least two pages to unpack everything that happened behind the scenes leading to ‘Y’ello’ finale.

Having extra spy cameras made our job very easy. Gazi you know the drill. We do not beat around the bush. Asivele sicondze endzabeni.

As you know Gazi, it is national elections year.

Nomination

The registrati­on exercise is already in full swing. Even before the nomination exercise could start, names of possible candidates have started to leak.

Among those in the race to Parliament, it has been gathered, there is a renowned football administra­tor, who seems determined to take the bull by its horns by challengin­g a minister.

For obvious reasons, he is yet to make his bid official, but those around him have confirmed the interest. For us the neutrals, this promises to be one of the most interestin­g elections.

We cannot wait for the nomination­s exercise.

It seems there are more surprises in store, if the hype is anything to go by.

Forget the off-season Gazi, it seems we will have a thriller outside the field of play as the dates for the polls loom large. As Shwashwaza Crew, we will leave no stone unturned and we promise to capture every moment.

Unzima lomthwalo. Sitayicela ivutsiwe!

We won and lost games together as a team. I can’t hide the fact that I had a wonderful squad. The assistance I got from all the team’s stakeholde­rs helped me a lot in winning the league. I just want to thank them all,” said Green Mamba Coach Ernest Mavuso after steering the side to their third title this past Sunday.
