‘I NEVER TALKED TO  WITBANK SPURS’

MBABANE – Green Mamba and Sihlangu’s assistant coach Caleb Ngwenya has
quashed reports that he signed for South Africa’s National First Division
side, Witbank Spurs.
Spurs made an announcement on Kick Off website last week through their Chief
Executive Officer (CEO) Freddy Mapulane, that Ngwenya was their new head coach.
In a new report on the same website yesterday, Mapulane somersaulted to say that
Ngwenya had declined the position and Spurs had settled for Zimbabwean coach
Raham Kumbo.
Contacted for comment yesterday, Ngwenya said the reports were inaccurate.
“This is news to me. Not once have I received a call from them, and I don’t
know where this information is coming from. I am not even aware that they ever
had an interest in my services,” he said.
Asked by Kick Off to clarify his position regarding Ngwenya, Mapulane said the
Sihlangu assistant coach was no longer available. “I think he got a better
offer somewhere, so we had to search for a replacement, because our aim is to
start the preseason with a coach,” he said.
Meanwhile, Ngwenya said he was happy at Green Mamba, and had never sought to
leave for another team. He said he suspects that this could have been a
publicity stunt by the South African team.
“We are busy preparing for preseason at the moment and our aim is to improve
on our form from last season,” he said.
