ZAKHELE TAKES OVER  ‘DAZZA’ MATTER

MBABANE – Zakhele Dlamini has taken over Darren ‘Dazza’ Christie ownership
battle with Mbabane Swallows.
The former Premier League of Swaziland (PLS) chief executive officer (CEO) now
represents the flying forward in the matter yet to be heard by the Football
Association (FA) Players’ Status Committee. The matter was postponed last
night as the committee did not form a quorum.
‘Dazza’ desperately wants to join ambitious elite league new boys Matsapha
United, where he is currently training and has reportedly put pen to paper
following his contract expiry with Manzini Sundowns, where he was on loan for
the past three seasons. The player is in some sort of tug-of-war with his parent
club Swallows, where his clearance is currently held, arguing that he does not
have a contract with the capital city giants.
The former Sihlangu star was with his new legal representative, Dlamini last
night at Sigwaca House, as the matter failed to take off.
‘Dazza’ is on record disputing that he has any contract with Swallows and
that he was a free agent. Though Swallows, through General Manager Sandile
‘Beyond 2000’ Zwane, said that the former Sihlangu man will be released to
join a team of his choice; it seems it has not been the case about two weeks
later.
‘Dazza’ is itching to make his Matsapha debut, when the SwaziBank Cup 2017
losing finalists welcome Red Lions in an MTN League encounter on Sunday.
Out of respect, Sundowns returned ‘Dazza’s clearance back to Swallows.
Swallows, ‘Dazza’s guardian club, loaned the crafty forward to Sundowns
three seasons ago with the understanding they will return him when they no
longer needed his services.
