MBABANE – Outgoing SOCGA President Zombodze Magagula will battle five other
hopefuls in the only four members’ slots available in the executive.
The Swaziland Olympic and Commonwealth Games Association (SOCGA) goes to poles
next Sunday.
Also vying for a seat in the only four slots are incumbent SOCGA Board member
Victor ‘Mavikane’ Dlamini, former Manzini Wanderers striker, now Swimming
Association president, Berger Nxumalo, Taekwondo Red Belt holder Temangcamane
Maseko, Louis Nxumalo and Netball Association president Mandisa Sigudla.
Having served in the SOCGA Board for 16 years, Magagula is ineligible to contest
for presidency, rendering the position a two-horse race between Football
Association president Adam ‘Bomber’ Mthethwa and serving SOCGA Board
Treasurer Peter Shongwe.
Addressing members of the different sports associations who converged at the
SOCGA offices yesterday afternoon for the 2017 opening party, Magagula said the
day served as his last supper.
“The Olympic movement requires change for fresh ideas and I trust you
(associations) will vote for people who will carry this organisation forward.
Looking at the candidates list, there are equally good or even better people
than the outgoing office,” he said.
