Africa-Press – Eswatini. That is the story of former Mbabane Swallows goalkeeper Sandile ‘Nkomishi’ Ginindza, who has parted ways with the club, after his contract was not renewed. The former Sihlangu shot-stopper returned to the club after completing a switch as a prodigal son back in 2020. He was signed from South Africa’s GladAfrica Championship (now Motsepe Foundation Championship side) Mbombela United. The former Manzini Wanderers player is said to have left the capital city giants due to contractual issues, after making his last appearance for ‘Umkhonto KaShaka ’ during the team’s preseason win in the game against Siphofaneni pick team, which was played last month.

A source within the Mbabane giants’ camp revealed that ‘Nkomishi’ was no longer in the club. “He is no longer in the club and has not even been coming to training since last week. He didn’t even travel with the team to Witbank,” the source said. Another source went on to mention that the talented goalie, who rejoined the club from Mbombela United together with Sabelo ‘Sikhali’ Ndzinisa, Felix ‘Fela’ Badenhorst and Banele ‘Pupu’ Sikhondze, left the club after his contract elapsed. “His contract was not renewed and he is not in the plans of the coach for the new season,” the source shared. ‘Nkomishi’, when interviewed yesterday, confirmed the latest developments. “My contract was not renewed,” he said briefly.
Swallows General Manager Sandile ‘Beyond 2000’ Zwane confirmed the goalkeeper’s exit in yesterday’s Sports Show programme on Eswatini Broadcasting and Information Services (EBIS). The former South Africa’s Sivutsa goalkeeper remains one of the most decorated players to have played in the club. He is the member of the record – breaking Mbabane Swallows, which went on a 51-league unbeaten run from May 15, 2016 to September 30, 2018. The goalkeeper was also part of the squad that reached the group stages of both the CAF Confederations Cup and Champions league under the directorship of astute businessman, the late Victor Gamedze.
Meanwhile, ‘Nkomishi’ joins the growing list of senior players who have left Swallows. They include central midfielder Xolani ‘Papi’ Sikhondze, striker Bashir Mutanda, grafter Mohamed Kabia and veteran winger Wonder ‘Samba Jive’ Nhleko.
