Mwase was in the initial shortlist to take over the club at the beginning of the season but a deal never materialized, instead settling for Phiri. \u201cWe have assembled a very good squad and we are confident that coach Mwase will take the team to greater heights,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/eswatini\">Eswatini<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Eswatini.
