MBABANE – Marriage vows renewed!
This follows Premier Beverages renewing their 14-year-old sponsorship of the Mbabane Regional Football League.
The 2025/26 sponsorship launch was held at Sigwaca House yesterday and was attended by Eswatini Football Association (EFA) Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Frederick Mngomezulu, Hhohho Regional Football Association (HRFA) Chairman Dr Comfort Shongwe and his executive and club representatives.
Premier Beverages representative Sithembile Khumalo said they were proud to continue sponsoring the vibrant Mbabane League, revealing that their commitment goes beyond branding and is about carrying the Mandla Mahewu name high.
“Mandla Mahewu is more than a drink. It is a source of energy, it is deeply satisfying and it is perfect for quenching thirst,” Khumalo said.
She called on every player, coach, official and supporter to be ambassadors of the brand this 2025/26 season.
“As we kick off this exciting chapter, we also want to emphasise the importance of fair play. Football is not just about winning, it is about respect, integrity and unity,” she said.
She further announced this season’s E70 000 sponsorship, urging teams that the season should be not only for goals and thrilling matches, but for the sportsmanship that defines a true championship.
Shongwe thanked Premier Beverages for the continued sponsorship as it has produced players who went on to play in the elite league as well as going all the way to represent the country.
