Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>This was the reaction from Mbabane Highlanders South African Managing Director (MD) Chief Ally Kgomongwe after his target, Banele \u2018Pupu\u2019 Sikhondze, lost his case before the Eswatini Football Association (EFA) Player\u2019s Status Committee (PSC). \u201cWe\u2019ll get Pupu, just watch the space. He will appeal the verdict. Otherwise, we\u2019re taking this matter and Jekwa\u2019s to FIFA.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re also getting assistance already from CAF as we have someone advising us there. It\u2019s quite unfortunate that the PSC ruled against \u2018Pupu\u2019 and \u2018Jekwa\u2019, but we know and understand why. We\u2019ll just let FIFA and CAF decide the cases,\u201d Kgomongwe retorted. Kgomongwe decried that the EFA PSC was not giving them fair treatment, citing conflict of interest with its Chairperson Sipho Matse, who is a former Moneni Pirates official.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were ready to use \u2018Pupu\u2019 against Swallows, but still, we got enough ammunition. Menzi Sithole is also back with us where he belongs, and we were working on having him registered by Friday close of business,\u201d Kgomongwe said. He was also confident that they would rise above last weekend\u2019s setback against Madlenya in their MTN Premier League 2022\/24 opening match.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can still hit Swallows hard and then go on to win the \u2018Pupu\u2019 transfer wrangle. I\u2019ll show them who\u2019s boss,\u201d Kgomongwe declared. It is worth mentioning that Kgomongwe is the reason that Green Mamba forward Sabelo \u2018Sikhali\u2019 Ndzinisa, a former Swallows player, was still playing soccer today. He rescued his career when no one wanted to associate with him following a verdict by a South African Football Association (SAFA) Tribunal in 2020. \u2018Sikhali\u2019 was found guilty of signing for two clubs but played for Mbombela United.<\/p>\n

He was found to have defaulted as he had signed for TS Sporting first. Kgomongwe took him in, swore he would get him back in the field of play, and he did. Some local teams protested, but all lost the case he was soon called up to the national team Sihlangu.<\/p>\n
