MBABANE – The Premier League of Eswatini (PLE) has suspended Mbabane
Highlanders player Mpendulo Tfomo ahead of the team’s upcoming game against
Ezulwini United tomorrow.

matches, according to the PLE. As per Article 37(2) of the 2023 MTN Premier
League Rules and Regulations, a player who receives six yellow cards is
automatically suspended for his team’s next two matches, which means that, the
influential midfielder will be unavailable for Highlanders’ upcoming league

quarter-final match against the same opponent, the date of which has not yet
been announced.
