MBABANE - Mbabane Swallows will face a significant setback, as defender Karim
Madja is suspended for their crucial match against Royal Leopard, this weekend.
The suspension follows Madja’s accumulation of three yellow cards. He will
serve a one-match ban, as stipulated by the MTN Premier League of Eswatini (PLE)
Rules and Regulations, specifically Article 6.2 (a). The PLE confirmed the
suspension in a letter stating: “According to the record filed at the PLE
office, the above-mentioned player has accumulated three yellow cards.” This
absence comes at a challenging time for Swallows, who recently shared the spoils
in a 1-1 draw against Rangers, at King Sobhuza Stadium.

In addition to Madja, Sandile Ngcamphalala from Mbabane Highlanders will also
miss his team’s match against Madlenya, due to a similar suspension. The
weekend will see a total of four players sidelined across the top division,
including Sabelo Dlamini from Illovo and Reagan Kangumbu from Nsingizini
Hotspurs, both of whom have also received three yellow cards. As teams prepare
for these pivotal fixtures, the impact of these suspensions could prove crucial
in the race for league points.
