MBABANE – Manzini Wanderers staunch supporter, Sudmo Ngwenya is the man behind
the new Eswatini Mobile Football Sponsorship dubbed as ‘Siphila La”.
Ngwenya’s suggestion got the full house’s backing during the Football
Sponsorship Program Review which was held at City Court Guest House last night.
KhosiKen Management Sports Consultancy’s Kenneth Makhanya had suggested that
the house should come up with a slogan for the new football sponsorship program
that will not only encapsulate and promote the registration of supporters but
also dovetail with the whole sponsorship project. The Sports Consultancy Company
act as link between the teams and Eswatini Mobile.
Teams that were represented were Manzini Wanderers, Mbabane Highlanders and
Mbabane Swallows. Representatives from these teams came with different
suggestions and some of them were Sisonke kanye,kanye,Wololo Walala Wasala, Play
Like a Champion,Sondzela Nawe, #Asambeni and #Siphila La!.
Makhanya gave all those who made suggestions a chance to support their slogan
and then ordered the floor to vote. Seemingly Sdumo Ngwenya’s suggestion was
the favourite as it got massive support from the floor.
Ngwenya did not even have to explain what he meant as it was clear to all sundry
that the slogan meant everyone will benefit from the sponsorship. The teams,
supporters and Eswatini Mobile and football at large will benefit from the
project.
Slogan
In the end it was agreed that this will be the new slogan for the football
sponsorship program.
During its infant stage, the E10.5 million projects only sponsored four teams,
namely Mbabane Highlanders, Manzini Wanderers, Mandlenya and Tinyosi F.C.
Mbabane Swallows have been added as new beneficiary from this project.
Speaking during the event, Sdumo Mdladla who spoke on behalf of Eswatini Mobile
emphasised the need for team to put hands together for the growth of football in
the country.
