MBABANE – Mbabane Swallows fans have been afforded an opportunity to bid
farewell to midfield maestro Banele ‘Pupu’ Sikhondze.
A farewell party is set for the Portuguese club on Saturday, starting at 6pm.

The day’s proceedings will kick-off as early as 10am with a five-a-side
tournament where the joining fee is E100 per team.
Entry fee for the farewell party, which will include a braai pack, is E50.
Interviewed yesterday, Sikhondze said the event was meant to thank the Swallows
supporters and other team supporters who had been supportive of his football
career.
“I owe my success to all soccer fans especially the Swallows family. I came to
Swallows as a young boy, went to play elsewhere but came back and made a huge
progress. The Swallows family has treated me well and this will always be home
away from home for me,” he said.
Sikhondze said he was determined to leave his mark in the money-spinning South
Africa’s ABSA Premiership.
“It won’t be easy, I have to work even harder but I am grateful to Polokwane
City for affording me this opportunity to showcase my talent,” he said.
He said more details pertaining to the farewell party would be released
tomorrow.
