‘FROZEN’ SHISELWENI EXECUTIVE LOBBIES FA MEMBERS

MBABANE – The on-ice Shiselweni Regional Football Association (SRFA) is lobbying for support to challenge the move to sideline them.

In a memorandum that is being circulated to fellow National Football Association of Swaziland (NFAS) members, the aggrieved party asks for back-up in the call to retain their positions at the SRFA.  The matter is expected to be a proposal for next month’s National Football Association of Swaziland’s (NFAS) elective congress.

The affected members who include Rudolf Saulus, Zanele Hlophe, Elliot Nkambule, Sifiso Sikhosana and Mandla Shongwe, were sidelined alongside banned NFAS Vice President Mashumi Shongwe.  The latter dominated newspaper headlines since late last year as he was said to have defied  the NFAS by challenging the regional elections while still an executive member of the supreme football body. The move was said to be in contravention of the contentious Article 34.10 of the NFAS Statutes.

Shongwe won the elections conducted by the NFAS to become SRFA chairman. It was during the same meeting, where the rest of the suspended executive members were elected. Both Shongwe and the Executive committee members were dragged before a disciplinary committee while a Normalisation Committee led by Mlimi Mamba, was put in place.

In their memo, which was leaked to this publication, the distressed party also dubbed Shongwe’s ban as ‘malicious and damaging to the development of the game.’
 The NFAS is expected to react to the concerns during the general assembly.
