SIKHUPHE – Orapa United coach Madinda Ndlovu is oozing with confidence ahead of the CAF Confederations Cup second leg encounter against Mbabane Swallows.

The former Township Rollers gaffer who was interviewed by the media yesterday upon arrival at the King Mswati III International Airport said it would be the survival of the fittest when the two giants meet. Present to welcome them was Mbabane Swallows General Manager Sandile Zwane and National Football Association of Swaziland (NFAS) executive member Sonnyboy Mabuza.

The coach touched down at the airport with 12 players and one official. The remaining team was said to arrive today.
“We know very well what is expected of us after losing in our own backyard. This will be new game altogether and there is no time for moaning but to pick up the pieces and focus on this final leg,” said the Zimbabwean coach. He has won the BeMobile Premier League in three successive terms.

He won it with Mochudi Centre Chiefs two times and he also managed to lift the title with Botswana current league leaders Township Rollers.
That was between 2011-2014.He then joined Orapa United in 2015.
The coach said they came early so as to prepare thoroughly and familiarise themselves with the environment.

“We committed mistakes in our last game and we have to rectify them ahead of Sunday clash. We have a mammoth task ahead of us but we are professionals we know what is at stake,” added Ndlovu.
He further said they were aware that Swallows were a strong team having participated in this kind of tournament for some time as opposed to them who were established in 2010.
