MBABANE- Mbabane Highlanders Kit Manager Sikhumbuzo ‘Mtheleweni’ Matimela is
lucky to be alive after surviving a horrific accident this past weekend.
The Inkunzi Emnyama official, who was suspended for the rest of the season by
the Premier League of Eswatini office together with Green Mamba’ Simiso
‘Khathazamanyemadoda’ Masilela, after they were found guilty of pitch
invasion, is believed to have a brush with death while on his way to Mavuso
Sports Centre.
According to a close source, who did not want his identity to be revealed,
‘Mtheleweni’ was on his way to watch Highlanders’ game against Wanderers
when he lost control of the car near Lobamba Bridge. “He was admitted to
Mbabane Government hospital on Sunday afternoon after losing control of Mbabane
Highlanders’ Bonginkosi ‘Manyovu’ Dlamini’s car near Lobamba. He was
left with a broken arm and few bruises in his upper body. The car is badly
damaged.
“Highlanders Managing Director (MD) Chief Ally Kgomongwe when told of the
ordeal, promised to fix the car on behalf of ‘Mtheleweni’ who was left
traumatised after the accident,” said the source. Meanwhile, the Mbabane
giants kit manager said it was true that he was involved in an accident and was
recovering very well at the club house in Ezulwini. “I encountered the
accident at Lobamba and I’m recovering very well. I am currently on a plaster
of Paris after hurting my arm and I was disturbed by a car which came out of
nowhere. While trying to overtake it, the accident happened,” he said.
Highlanders MD Chief Kgomongwe could not be drawn for comment after his
cellphone rang unanswered when called yesterday afternoon.
