MBABANE – The football fraternity has yet again lost an official.
Pigg’s Peak Black Swallows are mourning the passing away of their Finance
Director in Charles Matambo. Matambo died while jogging in Pigg’s Peak on
Sunday morning. He was appointed when Black Swallows announced its Management
Committee last year in October. Matambo’s death comes a week after the demise
of another Pigg’s Peak based-side official, Malanti Chiefs Dumisani Shongwe,
who was laid to rest on Sunday at Motshane. Shongwe died at the Killarney Sports
Ground on June 12 during an MTN Premier League match.
Matambo passed away at the time when he was assisting the team with its finance
as part of the Confederations of African Football (CAF) club licensing programme
processes. Pigg’s Peak Black Swallows Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Vusi Thomo
confirmed the sad new yesterday. He said they learn with shock about the demise
of Matambo. “It is with great grief that we received the sad news of the
demise of our Finance Manager Mr Christopher Matambo. This is actually a
monumental loss not only to Pigg’s Peak Black Swallows but also the whole
sporting fraternity,” he said.
Thomo said Matambo would always be remembered as one of the best football
administrators, as his contribution to Black Swallows would be cherished
forever. “In the same vein, he was not only our finance manager but ensured
that all tenants of corporate governance in the strict sense were upheld. His
leadership qualities as well as his amiable character easily endeared him to all
of us. May God grant his soul eternal peace and comfort his family, friends and
all supporters and players of Pigg’s Peak Black Swallows. Black Swallows
Chairman Charles Matsebula confirmed the sad news and he said they were on their
way to the family to pass on their condolences.
