WE ARE OVER IT – MKHWELI, FELIX
MBABANE – Both Mbabane Swallows stars did not have many words about their reported Wednesday training bust-up but made it clear it was all water under the bridge now – focus is on Sunday.
This will definitely come as a relief to the Swallows’ faithful ahead of crucial Ingwenyama Cup final against a revamped Royal Leopard who they have dominated over the last few seasons. It had shocked them and many football followers yesterday morning to learn from newspapers that training had to be cut short after the duo had serious misunderstanding and allegedly exchanged blows over a crude tackle.
“You can talk to Sandile for all I know I’ve got nothing to say. I’m just over this and there’s nothing to worry about,” was all Mkhweli said.
He insisted on not committing himself to the matter and that he was okay. Badenhorst who often shies away from the media was also adamant ‘it was all water under the bridge’ now.
“I am focussed and come Sunday I’ll deliver. Yes, it’s wrong but it happens in football and we’re not the first and last to experience it. We are still Swallows and will give our best Sunday,” he said.
Swallows or Umkhonto KaShaka’s General Manager Sandile ‘Beyond 2000’ Zwane who had pleaded absentia from the session at the time the incident happened, was also reached on this again yesterday.
“First problem we have is the person or people who put this on social networks.
“Secondly, we have learnt why most clubs do not allow fans to their training grounds and we’ll be revisiting that as a club but in the end we’ll have closed sessions and a stipulated open day for our supporters,” he said.
