MAKHANYA BOUNCES BACK AT SA ’DOWNS

Sports Editor

MBABANE – Four years after parting ways with South Africa’s Mamelodi Sundowns, erstwhile football administrator Kenneth Makhanya has bounced back at the club.
Makhanya is set to be unveiled this week as the ABSA premiership reigning champions General Manager (GM), a position he held before at the Pretoria-based outfit.

An informed source close to the matter told the Times Sports Desk that Makhanya will be bouncing back at the club as General Manager.
The position is currently occupied by legal eagle Yogesh Singh on an acting capacity role.
“He concluded talks with Sundowns last week and everything is now in black and white. He will be officially unveiled anytime this week. The club president, Patrice Motsepe, really believes in his administration skills,” a highly impeccable source at Chloorkop said.

Several South African media outlets, including the widely-read Soccer Laduma newspaper, also highlighted imminent changes at Sundowns management, in particular the return of the Eswatini-born administrator and former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Eswatini Football Association (EFA.

“Kenneth Makhanya could be returning to Sundowns in a high-ranking management role after being spotted at Sundowns this week,” part of the report carried by Soccer Laduma newspaper reads.
Reached for comment on Monday by this newspaper, Makhanya declined to comment on the issue. “I have no comment,” he said in a short-as-a-sneeze response.

Efforts to get a comment from acting GM Yogesh Singh proved futile as his mobile phone rang unanswered. The last call was made at 6:30pm.
Makhanya previously served the Pretoria-based outfit in the role of GM for more than four seasons and had initially been deployed to work with the Motsepe Foundation but he remained in that capacity briefly until the two parties parted ways in February 2015.
