Dlamini was signed over the weekend and started training with the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League-bound side on Monday. Speaking from Pretoria, South Africa in a telephonic interview, Kgomongwe said \u2018it shows we had signed good players if Green Mamba have signed Peter\u2019 and wished him well in his new team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re working on signing a foreign defender in his place; replace Bereng who has personal issues to attend, while we\u2019ve already got a very fast and talented winger in \u2018Ben 10\u2019s place. There are also a couple of players we\u2019ll sign in Eswatini as I\u2019m told there\u2019s a good left back interested in joining us as well as a forward,\u201d Kgomongwe said as gifted winger Tony \u2018Ben 10\u2019 Machacha is set to re-join Ally\u2019s Tigers in the upcoming season.<\/p>\n<p><b>Spotted<\/b><\/p>\n<p>He said the Head Coach, Solly Luvhengo had already spotted some talent and negotiating with them to put pen to paper soonest ahead of their pre-season resumption on a date yet to be confirmed. \u201cI saw as well reports that we wanted to re-sign \u2018Mlaba\u2019 back but that was never the case. \u2018Mlaba\u2019 is a very good player who came and played for us with all his heart but he did his time at Highlanders; we are going for fresh blood. He also did well saving Wanderers from relegation and we\u2019re happy they rewarded him with a new contract,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Kgomongwe said they would only release names of their new stars once all was settled in terms of contracts than in previous seasons where the media would unveil them before the official club\u2019s unveiling ceremony. Meanwhile, the only foreigner guaranteed further stay with the team is talented and troublesome winger Kenneth \u2018Mashaba\u2019 Moloto. The likes of \u2018Ben 10\u2019, midfielder and Lesotho international Thswarelo Bereng are not expected back, which will leave Highlanders with four open spaces for new foreign players as only five are allowed in the country per club.<\/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. \u201cWe are not relaxing but hard at work to upgrade Mbabane Highlanders into a formidable side that can win the league.\u201d These were the words of Inkunz\u2019emnyama Managing Director (MD) Chief Ally Kgomongwe in reaction to the departure of strong centre back Peter Dlamini to Correctional Services side Green Mamba.
