Ahead of their 8Bet Trade Fair Cup 2026 last 16 match against a tricky Rangers this afternoon, 15 new signings have just been announced by Mbabane Swallows.
The red and white outfit, rocked by an exodus of its key players and ownership battles, released a match day statement updating their supporters about players.
These include Mozambique’s Black Bulls forward Romao Joan and South African midfielder Thandoxolo Zakuza. 
However, the foreign duo will not be available for selection against a tricky Rangers at 4pm inside the Mavuso Sports Centre, Manzini.
Should Swallows get past Rangers, they will play traditional rivals Mbabane Highlanders AM in the quarter-finals.
Highlanders survived a resilient Ubombo Sugar exit scare after a 4-2 win on penalties. It was 1-all in regulation time.
