Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>Likuena midfielder Tshwarelo Bereng says he is enjoying his football again after moving to Eswatini at the start of the 2022\/2023 season to play for Mbabane Swallows in the MTN Premier League.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old\u2019s career has not hit the standards he showed as a youngster when he was recruited to Mamelodi Sundowns by the late Ted Dumitru in 2009.<\/p>\n

Since his stint with the Tshwane outfit, Bereng has become a football journeyman moving between seven teams in the two-elite leagues in South Africa such as Moroka Swallows, Chippa United, Black Leopards, Marumo Gallants as well as TS Sporting.<\/p>\n

The talented midfielder says he still has a lot left in the tank and can continue to play for six more seasons as well as fulfilling his wish to play in Lesotho before retiring.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m enjoying myself in Eswatini and my team has a very good chance of competing for the league title being in position five after nine games played thus far,\u201d Bereng said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe goal is to help them qualify for the CAF Champions League because they came very close in the previous season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the league here is very competitive and improving in all aspects because it\u2019s attracting a lot of foreign players.<\/p>\n

\u201cLocal players are under pressure to perform.
\nBereng is hopeful that playing regularly in Eswatini will help him win his place back in the Likuena squad having last represented his country in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Comoros played in Moroni in June.<\/p>\n

He won his first cap in 2016 in a friendly match against Namibia after he opted to play for Lesotho despite being born in South Africa to honour his late father, who was born in the Mountain Kingdom.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m willing to reclaim my place back in the team because I\u2019m playing regularly now and always giving my best.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s only a matter of being trusted with what I can deliver,\u201d the midfielder stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can still go for another seven years playing in elite leagues because I feel strong and young.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe that if I continue to get teams that know how to utilise me, I have a good chance of delivering.
\nBereng once again spoke of his wish to play in Lesotho before hanging up his boots as he feels it will bring him closer to his ancestors as he has lived all his life in South Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlaying in Lesotho for a season or two before I call it a day has been part of my plans.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it would help me get close to my ancestors,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on his career that has failed to fulfil the potential shown as a youngster at Sundowns, Bereng believes being vocal against coaches and administrators has worked against his career blossoming at one club.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, I have had a lot of challenges and roadblocks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are still there to this day, but I have kept my feet on the ground to do what I know best,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a pity those setbacks are just merely people hating one for standing up for what\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, I wouldn\u2019t consider my path difficult, I just refer to it as a path of truth that has many enemies.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just don\u2019t agree on player exploitation and that has resulted in my career taking a detour to hardship, but that can\u2019t stop me from what I know best.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very proud of myself and my career. It\u2019s just sad how the industry has turned out to be,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
