MBABANE – Mbabane Swallows inspirational captain Tony ‘TT’ Tsabedze has
assured the nation that they will fight to the end in Zambia in their bid to
hoist the country’s flag.
Addressing His Majesty King Mswati III, who was represented by acting Ludzidzini
Governor TV Mtetwa, Minister of Sports, Culture and Youth Affairs David
‘Cruiser’ Ngcampahalala, acting Director of Sports Mabuyengilandi Zeeman,
Ludzidzini Libandla members, NFAS Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Frederick
Mngomezulu, Premier League of Swaziland (PLS) CEO John Mazibuko and the media,
Tsabedze said they were on a mission to redeem the country’s tainted image.
“We were taught when we were growing up that before one leaves on a particular
journey, that person must take time to inform the elders and bid them farewell
so that the trip could be a safe and enjoyable one. As Mbabane Swallows we have
done just that and we have confidence that we will not disappoint the nation.
“We have been to Zambia a couple of times and know exactly what to expect.
Preparations have gone on well and we are confident we will not disappoint the
nation. We are fully aware that we will not be representing just Mbabane
Swallows but the country,” said the fiery left footed winger.
Swallows acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Sibusiso Manana said the nation
should keep them in their prayers as they attempt to overcome what to the laymen
may appear to be mission impossible.
“The nation should know that we are not going to Zambia to merely play but we
want to compete and do so effectively. It is prayers we are asking for from the
nation. We know that without prayer, we cannot make it,” he said. Scorer of
Swallows’ crucial equaliser during the first leg clash, Felix Badenhorst said
they were ready to fight and make the country proud.
“Every player is focussed and we want to prove to the Zambians that we can
also play football. We will not be distracted by anything,” he assured.
