Africa-Press – Eswatini. Swallows President Archbishop Bheki Lukhele has maintained his undying love for the team.
This is despite losing out on the Confederation Cup spot to rivals Mbabane Highlanders following the two teams’ goalless draw at Mavuso Sports Centre on Sunday. The red and white glamour side finished the MTN Premier League on position three with 65 points under the guidance of ex-Denver Sundowns mentor Musa Manyatsi. “I will remain with the team despite being unable to achieve our target for the season.
Undiluted
“My love for the team remains undiluted and I have been a Swallows man through thick and thin. I am still going to be part of the team for many years. I urge the players not to lose hope but they should focus on the future,” he said.
Lukhele is currently on his third tenure in charge of Umkhonto Ka Shaka where he managed to retain the services of the former international players such as Felix ‘Fela’ Badenhorst, Banele ‘Pupu’ Sikhondze, and Njabulo ‘D4D’ Ndlovu after their previous stints in South Africa.
The red and white glamour side recently enlisted the services of two international coaches Honour Janza (Zambia) and Christopher Ennin ( Ghana) who is also a deputy governor under the leadership of the popular man of the cloth.
Swallows are still seeking a return to continental football having reached the group stages of both the CAF Confederation Cup and Champions League a few years ago.
