MBABANE – Giants Mbabane Highlanders young midfielder Lindani ‘Rio’
Matsenjwa’s South African (SA) move aspirations did not succeed.
This is according to his club, Highlanders. Matsenjwa had recently been reported
to be in SA undergoing trials with DStv Premiership rookies Sekhukhune United
ahead of the neighbours season kick-off and registration deadline last month
end. However, at Sekhukhune, the trials did not go well. He was later reported
to have tried with another team in a lower division, Platinum Rovers and passed.
However, Highlanders Director Chief Ally Kgomongwe has said nobody came for his
clearance. “Rio is still our player. We still have his clearance and have not
cleared him to any team,” Kgomongwe said when questioned if the midfielder was
cleared to any South African team.
Signed
Meanwhile, Kgomongwe signed Matsenjwa from Young Buffaloes when he took over the
black and white side two seasons ago. The youngster had spent most of his elite
career at Moneni Pirates while also playing for the country’s national junior
squads and senior national team, Sihlangu Semnikati. Efforts to get a comment
from him proved futile at the time he was sought. The last time he was reached
over this issue, Matsenjwa was not ready to comment as yet.
