It rains money on Beautiful Birds'!
MBABANE – Mbabane Swallows got a major boost ahead of their crucial CAF Cup game against South Africa’s SuperSport United when Ngwane Mills sponsored them with E30 000.
The presentation was done yesterday at the Ngwane Mills offices based in Matsapha.
The sponsorship by Ngwane Mills under their Top Score maize meal brand is expected to spur the ‘Birds’ on during the game.
Speaking during the presentation the company’s Marketing Manager De Villiers Smit said they were happy to be associated with a brand name like Mbabane Swallows.
He said the team was quite a big brand and they were happy to help them since they were not just playing but they were now representing Swaziland. “We hope all Swazis will converge at Somhlolo Stadium in support of Swallows as they are now representing the country,” he said. He said since the Top Score brand slogan was power kick, they were confident that Swallows could turn the tables and give SuperSport the power kick.
Smit said he was certain that Swallows will pull a few surprises on Sunday. “The nation and SuperSport will be pleasantly surprised as Swallows will come up with victory,” he said. Swallows Marketing Manager Mondli Nxumalo said the club was grateful for the sponsorship as it will go a long way in meeting some expenses that they have to take care of. He said they were promising a good match as they would be highly motivated by the sponsorship.
“I promise that on Sunday there will be only one team that will have top scored and that will be Swallows,” he said.
Nxumalo said they were grateful that Ngwane Mills believed in the team enough to give them E30 000.
“We would like to urge all our supporters to buy the top score brand so that the company can continue to back sports,” he said.
