MBABANE – Prominent lawyers have been appointed to assist in reviewing the
constitution of the Premier League of Eswatini (PLE).
The three-member committee is chaired by Zweli Jele, who is currently the
Mbabane Highlanders chairman.
The well-known duo of Bongani ‘Bhanyaza’ Mdluli and PLE Prosecutor Desmond
Manda are the rest of the members of the body.
They have been appointed in reaction to a decision taken during the Premier
League of Eswatini (PLE) retreat last month.
Among the duties of the committee will be helping in clearing the air on the
contentious issue of Executive committee members, whose teams get relegated from
the National First Division, which is the lowest division of PLE.
“Matters presented to the committee for decision at any meeting shall be
decided by a majority of votes,” reads the terms of reference in part.
Other duties include the amendment of the constitution so that newly-promoted
teams have full rights at the beginning of their first PLE annual general
meeting.
“The committee shall report to the Board on its activities, findings and
recommendations at the meeting of the Board of Governors on or before June 30,
2019,” read the correspondence copied to the committee by Chairman Peter
‘Touch’ Magagula.
The committee operates under a budget approved by the PLE Executive Committee.
