MABILA MUST GO – WANDERERS SUPPORTERS!
MANZINI – Despite the intervention of the club’s Patron Inkhosikati LaMbikiza a week ago, the storm is not over at Manzini Wanderers.
A section of the team’s supporters still want the Managing Director, Mduduzi ‘Tsotsi’ Mabila, out.
In yet another well attended meeting yesterday afternoon at the Manzini Library, this time an extraordinary meeting which was approved by the council of elders and publicly announced from last Thursday, the supporters insisted that all they want is to see the team’s Managing Director (MD) Mabila out.
Interestingly, while the meeting was, according to the supporters, legitimate this time around unlike the one they held last time when they put in place their own interim leadership to work with the current Management Committee (MC), the elders, MC and MD were nowhere to be seen.
Only one member of the MC, Eric Vilakati, attended but also as a Wanderers supporter, not in his capacity as MC member and did not make any comments in the meeting.
It was alleged in the meeting, chaired by the club’s National Supporters Committee (NSC) Vice Chairman, Majayivane Dlamini, that the elders and MC were barred on Friday from attending or else they were going to lose their positions.
After the report on the visit to the team’s patron two weeks ago, the supporters resolved they were being taken for granted by their MD and the elders who then turned against their Chairman Sipho Ntshalintshali and told the patron their MD was Mabila and Nhlanhla Mabuza remained NSC Chairman.
"Firstly, we don’t know who restored Mabila back into the position as we had made it clear he should stop and never participate in our activities. Even make (patron) never said he must continue but ruled that as a Wanderers family, meaning supporters and all other structures, must go meet and resolve the impasse then bring a report to her," said a heated supporter.
"If we let this man continue, then we’re agreeing to First Division next season because really, if you look at the log table, we can get relegated, especially if the teams under us win two or three games. So we can’t fool ourselves and allow this, Mabila must just go," said another.
