MBABANE – They have beaten senior teams to the Confederation of African
Football (CAF) Club Licencing requirement.
That is Nsingizini Hotspurs who recently earned their elite league status by
buying out Vovovo status and have upped their muscle further.  This is after
they purchased a ladies team, Kappa Ladies. Sooner or later no club will play in
CAF’s interclub competitions like the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League and
Confederation Cup without meeting this requirement, which CAF put its
implementation ahead of the current CAF games on halt to allow clubs the time to
form a ladies clubs.
Despite that Nsingizini were not willing to go on record on the purchase of the
ladies team, Kappa Ladies boss confirmed that he has sold Kappa Ladies to them.
“It is true that all 100 per cent of Kappa Ladies shares now belong to
Nsingizini Hotspurs,” Mabuza said. Questioned about the selling price, he
preferred not to divulge the figures.
Superiors
Nsingizini Public Relations Officer (PRO) Mncedisi Bhembe said he was currently
in consultations with his superiors to give a proper response. When later called
for further verification, Bhembe said his superiors were still locked in a
meeting. He also suggested that their Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mphikeleli
Dlamini be reached if he did not return with a response. The CEO was not
immediately available as his cellphone rang unanswered.
Meanwhile, Nsingizini join other elite teams that have registered women teams.
These are Mbabane Swallows, Royal Leopard, Young Buffaloes, Green Mamba and
Manzini Wanderers as well as Tambankulu Callies.  They will have the maiden
match in the Women Football League next week when it officially kicks off the
new season. Army side Buffaloes are the defending champions.
