MBABANE – In the face of the relegation adversity, Mbabane Highlanders boss
Zweli Jele has vowed that they will fight with everything they have to avoid the
chop.
In an interview with SABC radio Ligwalagwala on Wednesday, the club incumbent
chairman of the directors, said it was within their responsibility to do
everything possible needed to win against their unbeaten sworn rivals Mbabane
Swallows in the rescheduled last match of the MTN League.
Anything less than victory in the game will condemn the club to the National
First Division League, for the second time in about four years.
The capital city giants’ relegation threat has attracted interest from across
the region.
Jele, when then quizzed yesterday on the interview said, “We will do
everything to retain the elite league status but if we fail we will accept our
fate. We will, however, reinforce the team significantly next season
irrespective of the division that we will be playing in.
He went to say that whether the team was relegated or not, it would not perish.
“We assured supporters in our last meeting that Highlanders will always live
on, whether we are relegated or not. We are in a process of rebuilding the team
and part of the rebuilding process will involve beefing up the squad,” added
Jele.
He was non-committal when asked if they would retain the coach Rodney
‘Stumbo’ Charles.
“Well we will decide on the technical bench after the last game.
