‘WESLIANS’ FIRE TOP 3

MBABANE – In an unprecedented move, Manzini Wanderers have sent packing three senior Management Committee (MC) members.

General Manager Pat Mahlalela, PRO Sandile ‘Ntofo’ Dlamini and Marketing Manager Bhekithemba Zwane have all been relieved of their duties by top management with immediate effect. The latest development was communicated through correspondences copied to the trio and leaked to this publication.

Wanderers Director Mehluli Nhlengetfwa was straight to the point when sought for comment.
“I fired them due to lack of cohesion in carrying out the team’s duties,” he said.

Mahlalela confirmed receipt of a letter terminating his appointment as the team’s GM, but politely asked not to say much on the issue.
betterment
“I’m not authorised to speak on behalf of Wanderers, so there is nothing much to say. I feel it’s a decision that has been taken for the betterment of the team,” he said.
Dlamini also accepted his fate when sought for comment.

“In football you come and go. When I came on board, I knew that one day I would go.
“After all, it’s about the team, not positions. Good luck to Manzini Wanderers family and all the stakeholders. My only wish is for the team to prosper and cheat the chop,” he said.
Zwane also echoed some of Dlamini’s words and remained calm in the face of adversity.

stabilise

“I have been with the team from juniors’ level, so we know things like these happen in football. We’re from the old MC, so ours was to stabilise things.
“I’m relieved to leave at a time when things in the team have stabilised. Our task was to kick-start things. With the busy schedule, I expected this to happen one day,” he said.
Mahlalela was heading a new-look MC which was announced over two months ago. An interim committee is yet to be announced while the likes of Manager Raymond Nxumalo, Treasurer Girly Johnson, Head of Legal Bhanyaza Mdluli, among others, remain on board.

sidelined

Also reported to have been sidelined is Technical Director Jerry ‘Mbazo’ Gamedze. He said he was attending a prayer service when sought for comment.
“Going forward, only few people will form the MC. It will be the GM/PRO, treasurer, office administrator, security and legal,” said an impeccable source.

Meanwhile, Wanderers are fresh from a goalless draw against Malanti Chiefs. They return to action in two days to face Green Mamba in a ‘Y’ello’ Sunday clash at Somhlolo National Stadium.
