Highlanders' fans angry with Banda

MBABANE- Mbabane Highlanders supporters are bitter about the team’s former coach Francis Banda.

The fans alleged that Banda was poaching their players to Green Mamba.

The supporters on Thursday had a meeting, where it was resolved that something should be done to stop the coach. Secretary of the Supporters Thabo Oswin said what Banda was doing was tantamount to kick a hand that once fed you. "As fans we are concerned about Banda’s action. He must remember that one day he might come back to the team," he said.

Oswin explained that Banda was one of the coaches that were loved by the supporters while he was still with Highlanders, but he was now betraying them. He said the supporters understood when Sabelo Shilubane left to join Green Mamba because he was also going there for employment. "We are now touched by the reports that there are Green Mamba supporters who approached one of our players Xolani Sibandze, who is still school- going,’ he said.

The supporters commit-tee has since urged Banda to stop his actions because he was creating enmity between himself and the supporters.

Oswin the invited all Mbabane Highlanders fans at Somhlolo National Stadium on Sunday where they would be playing against Manzini Sundo-wns.

He said fans who are members of the supporters club would get a discount at the gates during the game.
