MBABANE – When dearly departed Phillip ‘Big Daddy’ Dlamini was vying for
the FA Executive Committee member post, football chief and his long-time friend
Adam ‘Bomber’ Mthethwa did not take his interest seriously.
Mthethwa revealed this during Dlamini’s memorial service at John Wesley
Chapel, inside the densely populated Msunduza location, where the late spent
most of his life residing.
The senator had outmost respect for Dlamini all this years as he would address
him as ‘president’ despite Dlamini, who succumbed to death on March 27 being
older than him.
“Some regions have sponsors because of his connections and hard work and
interestingly he secured most of them while not in power or positions which
means he was a man of the game.
I did not take his running for an executive committee membership seriously last
year when we went for polls but I was happy for him when he was elected in the
two slots available,” Mthethwa told mourners. In barely three months, he is
the second member of the FA Executive Committee to pass on. On January 14, Vice
President, Victor Gamedze was gunned down at a filling station in Ezulwini.
