MBABANE – “Mpisane has a cutting edge in his play, having featured in the Premier Soccer League (PSL) in South Africa.”
These were the comments of Mbabane Highlanders Coach Ernest Mavuso during the MTN Premier League pre-match briefing, which was held at Sigwaca House on Thursday afternoon. The briefings were organised by the Premier League of Eswatini (PLE) ahead of the ‘Y’ello Sunday’ penned for the Mavuso Sports Centre.
Inkunzi’emnyama have a date with Manzini Wanderers in a double-header fixture. Royal Leopard and Mbabane Swallows will act as the ‘curtain-raisers’ for this key match.
The former Green Mamba head coach was reacting to questions on how it is like to work with the former Betway Premiership outfit Royal AM Chairman and player, Andile ‘Expensive 10’ Mpisane.
The Highlanders player is also the chairman of the team, which is currently under the leadership of flamboyant businesswoman Shauwn ‘MaMkhize’ Mkhize, his mother.
Mavuso described Mpisane as a wonderful and jovial player who has a clear cutting-edge over the local players, as he boasts the experience of playing in the money-spinning Betway Premiership.
“He is a wonderful player, jolly and has his flair, which we will not restrict as he showcases it when we are sure that we have wrapped the match,” Mavuso said.
The former Moneni Pirates mentor disclosed that he faces no challenges working with the black and white capital city giants’ chairman, as he is willing to learn from him.
Highlanders are coming into this match highly motivated, having won their last two matches, while Wanderers are yet to record a win this season with three games played so far.
