‘SIKHALI’ A SUPER GEM – SUPERSPORT CEO

MBABANE - Top South African soccer outfit SuperSport United cannot wait to land Mbabane Swallows’ quicksilver striker Sabelo ‘Sikhali’ Ndzinisa.

After starring in the Total CAF Confederation Cup 4-2 win over South Africa’s Platinum Stars, scoring four goals recently, SuperSport United CEO Stanley Matthews was eating out of the palms of the gifted forward’s hands.

“He (Ndzinisa) is quite something. I liked his strength, pace and the way he finished against Platinum Stars. I was truly impressed and I would not mind having him in my team,” Matthews was quoted saying by African Independent, which is a news agency with correspondents in South Africa and 12 other other countries.

According to the report from the site, Bidvest Wits, Platinum Stars, Free State Stars, Bloemfontein Celtic, AS Vita (DR Congo) as well as unnamed teams from Tunisia and Egypt reportedly made enquiries about the bustling striker, who has just been named MTN Premier League Player of the Season and top goalscorer.

The reports further suggested that one of the Tunisian teams were ready to table an offer for the goal-poacher. Amazulu, Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns also joined the swelling list of teams after the signature of the Sihlangu star this week.

Asked if he felt like a big fish in a small pond by remaining in Swaziland, he told this publication he would prove himself once ‘being poached.’
“It will depend on offers so I can prove by shining in the new team that I deserve to play outside the country,” said the player.

He was interviewed after sweeping the boards in Thursday’s MTN League awards at Royal Swazi Sun Hotel’s Convention Centre in Ezulwini.
On top of the interest around the continent, Ndzinisa has a Belgium offer on the table which has been officially made to his club, an air ticket for him also made available soon after the Platinum Stars match.
