ELITE RIVAL TRIO DO BATTLE

MBABANE – ‘I doubt Wanderers will make the Last 16’ was a comment from one of the fans who were interviewed and received free tickets on Friday afternoon at EswatiniBank inside the capital city.

Why would he say that when the very same Wanderers, under former Mbabane Swallows’ decorated coach Thabo ‘Koki’ Vilakati stunned the red and white side, most terming it as ‘sweet revenge for Koki’ after his unexpected sacking last December?
Wanderers convincingly won 2-0 and have signed some impressive players, especially former Matsapaha United striker Barnes Mensah.
They have added Tambuti’s star holding midfielder Mpendulo Ngidi and Green Mamba’s Mphumuti Ginindza among their new signings. This tells you they mean business as relegation is nothing they expect as much as they still have work to do to finish in a respectable position.

They further took City’s director and Premier League of Eswatini (PLE) Board of Governor Bongani ‘Bhanyaza’ Mdluli, who they appointed Legal Advisor and he later resigned from the position to fully focus on the hub side. This will feel like a reunion for them but one that now has rivalry until there is a winner in this matchup.

Today, Wanderers know City are a strong side that can frustrate any elite team as that is where they played last season before relegation.
Last year, they lost 3-0 to Mbabane Highlanders in the Last 16. They were also narrowly beaten in the Ingwenyama Cup Last 32 and now they have made some signings after the January transfer window.
It looks set to be a thriller. City are one team that can play football as a team so expect Wanderers to get tough competition from them.
