Ingwe Mabalabala \u2018mauled\u2019 Swallows 4-2 and this result made the supporters furious as they bayed for Head Coach Caleb Ngwenya\u2019s blood. The result confirmed that Umkhonto KaShaka will not be returning to continental football again this season. One of the supporters hit the coach with a container, while making his way into the tunnels in frustration and some fans waited for him by the exit gate from the dressing rooms; however, Ngwenya was taken to safety by security personnel using another exit. The former national team Sihlangu manager revealed that the challenge was neither with the coach nor the players but it was with them as management of the team. He said if anyone wanted to address his or her disappointment, their door was wide open to address him or her. \u201cI would like, on behalf of the team\u2019s management, to apologise on what happened yesterday; it was not the coach\u2019s problem or the players; it is with us,\u201d Zwane said.<\/p>\n<p><b>Address<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u2018Beyond 2000\u2019 said the supporters should calm down as the management would address the issue in a meeting, as losing games at this stage of the league was not new to the team. \u201cWe will definitely go to a meeting as this is now a norm; you will remember that for the past three seasons, when we are about to get something, such a thing strikes, ,\u201d he said. He further assured the supporters that the coach and the players had done nothing wrong in as far as the performance of the team was concerned. Meanwhile, Coach Ngwenya blamed the defeat on being slow and sloppy. \u201cIt\u2019s not the result we wanted. We conceded soft goals,\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. \u201cSupporters should refrain from attacking coaches and players; the challenge is with management.\u201d This was said by Mbabane Swallows General Manager (GM) Sandile \u2018Beyond 2000\u2019 Zwane when addressing the team\u2019s supporters on national radio, the Eswatini Broadcasting and Information Services (EBIS 1) Sports Show hosted by Siphesihle \u2018Sihlabani\u2019 Nxumalo, yesterday.
