MBABANE – There is a new sheriff in town.
That is the Eswatini Schools Sports Association (ESSA), which has a new
President in Mphelandzaba High School’s Zakhele Myeni. The Mphelandzaba High
School teacher was elected the new president of the association early this
month. He takes the hot seat which was previous occupied by national team
Sihlangu assistant coach Anthony Mdluli.
Myeni confirmed the latest development, saying the association went to polls to
elect a new executive on November 3, 2023.
“It is true that I am the new president of Eswatini Schools Sports Association
and I will be leading a team of five members,” Myeni said. He revealed that
their main objective was to bring schools back to organised sports, after
witnessing that they now preferred stovels.
“It is also our mandate to bring more primary schools in games, as we have
noted that they were not participating the way we want them to do,” he said.
Myeni said they were made aware by some of the schools that they were facing
monetary challenges in participating in some of the games, but was hopeful that
they would try and bring the games near to them. Finally, he thanked the
previous executive, which was led by Mdluli for the good job they had done for
schools during their term.
