YOUNG BUFFALOES’ ‘SLWABELWABE’ SIMPLY THE BEST

MBABANE – He nailed it.

That is Young Buffaloes striker Phiwayinkhosi ‘Slwabelwabe’ Dlamini, who earned E20 000 for his outstanding performance in the MTN Premier League first round. The 30-year-old’s sensational performance earned him three awards, being the top goalscorer award that carries E6 000, best player, E8 000 and player of the month for May, E6 000. His outstanding performance comes after that of his teammate Sandile ‘Saviola’ Gamedze who was simply the best last season. Dlamini is the current top goalscorer in the league, leading with 15 goals while Mbabane Highlanders’ Sabelo ‘Sikhali’ Ndzinisa is second with 14 goals.

He is the only player this season to have scored four goals in one match. He netted the quadruple on June 16, 2020 at the Prince of Wales Sports Ground when they thrashed Tinyosi 8-0. He finished the first round with 13 goals. The army side dominated the awards as coach Sabelo Mnisi was announced the Best Coach of the first round with the team walking away with the E350 000 first round incentives having beaten Royal Leopard in the last day of the first round.

Enjoying

Dlamini who joined Young Buffaloes from Mbabane City said this was his best performance in his football career. He said he was enjoying his game and he hoped more goals and trophies for the club were on their way. “Being part of the national team, Sihlangu was good for me as it is where I share some experience with others strikers including Sabelo ‘Sikhali’ Ndzinisa. Despite that we are playing in the same league, there is a lot that I am learning from him,” he said. Dlamini said as a team they were working hard and they wanted to win every match.

“We have not given up in the league as there are a lot of games to be played. I’m happy to have won these awards but there is still a lot that I need to do to achieve more,” he said.
Presenting the winners were Premier League of Eswatini (PLE) Chairman Representative Charles Matsebula and Lando Dlamini from MTN.
