MBABANE – In what will surely sound like sweet melody to the ears of the
Mbabane Swallows faithful, industrious midfielder Jocial Tchakunda returns on
Tuesday.
The workaholic Cameroonian midfielder has already missed about four of his
team’s MTN League matches after leaving the country to sort out personal
matters in South Africa. Although the MTN League defending champions and league
leaders did not lose any game in his absence, he was greatly missed by the
Mbabane giants.
Team assistant coach, Siyabonga Bhembe confirmed the latest development
yesterday shortly after taking the players through their paces at the Prince of
Wales.
"We are obviously happy as a team that he is returning. This is not to suggest
though that the other players are not capable but at Swallows every player has a
role. He will have to come back and fight for his place in the starting line-up.
"No player is guaranteed a starting berth at Swallows, so naturally we will also
have to look at him and see how his condition is before throwing him into the
fray," he said.
The Cameroonian player, who joined Swallows midway through last season struggled
at first to convince he had what it takes but soon established himself as a key
member in the title-winning squads last season.
He will have to fight for his place against the vastly improved Phinda Ginindza,
who has thrived in the player’s absence and against lanky anchorman Felix
Badenhorst and Njabulo ‘D4D’ Ndlovu in the star studded Swallows midfield.
