SANDILE ZWANE NOT TO BLAME – SWALLOWS

Sports Editor

MBABANE – Mbabane Swallows Management Committee (MC) has thrown full weight behind under-fire General Manager Sandile ‘Beyond 2000’ Zwane in the ongoing transfer wrangle of former striker Sabelo ‘Sikhali’ Ndzinisa.

Zwane had been reprimanded by the player’s agent Donald Aphane for failing to state the truth regarding the transfer of the Eswatini international to South Africa’s GladAfrica Championship side Mbombela United.

Mbombela United were relegated to the amateur ABC Motsepe league after 23 points were docked following a ruling by the South African Football Association (SAFA) Arbitration ruling for having fielded the player who had signed two contracts with TS Sporting and Mbombela United in one season.

In a short-as-sneeze press statement released by the club after yesterday’s meeting, attended by among others former MC member Dumezweni Dlamini, the club acknowledged it had concluded the investigations as mandated by the president Archbishop Bheki Lukhele.

untruthfulness

“Mbabane Swallows Football Club takes seriously recent allegations bordering on two matters: That there is an official who received E350 000 from South Africa’s TS Sporting regarding the transfer of the club’s former player Sabelo Ndzinisa and secondly, that our General Manager Sandile Zwane was involved in the transfer of the player in question, with insinuations of untruthfulness,” read the statement released by the club’s Communications and Marketing manager, Mancoba Mabuza.

 Mabuza said having done all investigations they had reached the conclusion that no official from the club had received E350 000 from TS Sporting as alleged by an official from the GladAfrica Championship outfit and that Zwane was not involved in the transfer of the player in question, Ndzinisa.

appropriate

“However, should new information emerge, the club will further investigate and publish an appropriate statement,” Mabuza said. 

The player’s agent Donald Aphane has indicated he intends to appeal Ndzinisa’s two-year ban while Mbombela United chairman Oupa Matsebula has not indicated whether he will appeal against the SAFA Arbitration ruling or not.
