DEAL HIJACKED

MBABANE - The transfer saga surrounding Mbabane Swallows Captain, Kwakhe ‘Stopper’ Thwala, continues to heat up, with the latest development seeing Moneni Pirates enter the race for his signature. Thwala, who recently submitted a request to the Eswatini Football Association (EFA) Players Status Committee (PSC) seeking release from Swallows, is a highly sought-after player. Nsingizini Hotspurs, Royal Leopard and Young Buffaloes have all expressed interest in the national team assistant captain.
Sources close to the player indicated that Hotspurs were initially leading the race, having tabled a lucrative E150 000 offer, surpassing Royal Leopard’s bid by E30 000.

However, Pirates have emerged as strong contenders, having reportedly agreed to personal terms with Thwala. “It looks like Kwakhe will be joining Moneni Pirates for the second half of the season,” a source revealed.This publication understands that Thwala agreed to personal terms with Pirates over a week ago and is expected to sign a contract this week. This move would reunite him with former Coach Caleb Ngwenya.While sources close to the left-footed player insist Nsingizini Hotspurs are still in the picture, the ‘Sea Robbers’ of Moneni are leading the race for his signature.

refute

Pirates’ Public Relations Officer, Meluleki ‘Sluga’ Simelane, when approached for comment, did not refute the connection, emphasising their high regard for Thwala, who is both a national team player and captain. “It is every team’s wish to have a player like Kwakhe, however, we haven’t signed him,” Simelane said. It is worth noting that Swallows have reportedly placed a E200 000 price tag on Thwala. PRO Knowledge ‘Bhambo’ Ngwenya was quoted by this publication confirming that the player’s performance has captured the attention of many clubs and they were currently evaluating their options.
