Africa-Press – Eswatini. This adjective perfectly describe the transfer drama, as Mbabane Highlanders and Manzini Wanderers made the biggest catch on the last day of the first registration window which closed last night. In a stunning move, Mbabane Highlanders managed to secure the signature of attacking midfielder Banele ‘Pupu’ Sikhondze from arch-rivals Mbabane Swallows. The former Polokwane City player who recently tendered his resignation letter to Umkhonto KaShaka due to minimum game time under gaffer Caleb ‘No Nosense’ Ngwenya made the switch in a reported move worth E80 000.
Swallows had accepted Pupu’s resignation. However, it was reported that he had second thoughts and returned to training with the red and white capital city giants about a week ago, but was stopped from continuing training with the team. It was the reported that his matter was taken to the elders for discussions. It appeared that Swallows decided to part ways with the player, as stated in a press release addressing the player’s future after the discussions.

He will definitely be playing for the team this season. We are delighted to have finally signed the player and we believe that he will be a valuable addition to the team, working together with the rest of the squad to ensure that we are competitive in the league,” shared the source.

This was confirmed by Wanderers Public Relations Officer (PRO) Mduduzi ‘Mr G’ Ginindza “It’s true; we have signed Thabiso, who was previously playing for Royal Leopard.
