NTONDOZI – As it’s all roads to Nhlangano this Sunday for the hub derby pitting Moneni Pirates and Manzini Sundowns, fans can expect a thrilling match.

The two sides meet in the Swazi Telecom Charity Cup play-off in which the winner will have the privilege of playing in the main tournament the following Sunday at Somhlolo National Stadium.
 The winner will join giants Mbabane Highlanders, Mbabane Swallows and defending champions Royal Leopard and these four will then be drawn against each other.
Nhlangano folk and surrounding areas can brace themselves for the Charity Cup fever as the fun will begin early in the morning at the King Sobhuza II Memorial Stadium.

A host of curtain-raisers are being lined up, including a pastors’ game and the first semi-final of the Under-20 sides to play the final on main day and Shukuma finals.
“If you talk of good football in the country, then you need to be at the King Sobhuza Stadium because it is Moneni Pirates and Sundowns that know how to dish out the best. I can’t go into what the score will be but I can say Pirates will be in the main tournament on August 27,” declared Pirates Manager Twoman Masuku.
His Sundowns counterpart, Agrippa Dlamini, minced no words saying their supporters must go to Nhlangano and also be ready to be at Somhlolo the following weekend.
