BIRDS’ ‘MGONODI’ DIES
MBABANE – Tragedy.
This best describes the untimely death of Mbabane Swallows Ladies player Banele Bhembe, affectionately known as ‘Mgonodi. She passed away on Saturday after reportedly being ill for some time. The 36-year-old veteran striker, who was nicknamed after the Mbabane giants former player Mgonodi Sidell, served Buffaloes for 10 years before registering with Swallows during the second transfer window period last season. A source close to the family shared the devastating news that the Umkhonto KaShaka attacking player passed away this weekend after being in and out of hospitals for some time. “Mgonodi’s passing has greatly saddened us. She had been struggling with her health for some time,” the source said. The sad news of the striker’s passing was confirmed by Mbabane Swallows Ladies’ current Head Coach, Aaron ‘Katalala’ Mavimbela, who had signed the player from Young Buffaloes. Mavimbela expressed his condolences and acknowledged the significant loss to the team, given Bhembe’s talent and dedication to the sport.
“We are still grappling with the shocking news of Banele Bhembe’s untimely passing. It was only during the first round that she shared her health concerns and asked for some time away from the team to recuperate. She had promised to return and support her teammates as soon as she felt better. The entire team are devastated by this sudden loss, and it’s hard to believe she is no longer with us,” he said.
