SA director for Manzini Wanderers

Manzini Wanderers have finally found their man! South African businessman Thabo Maja looks set to be unveiled as Manzini Wanderers new Board of Directors Chairman in a week after agreeing in principle to buy 5 000 shares worth E2.5 million made available by the club early last month.

Wanderers made available 10 000 shares sold at E500 each last month in a bid to raise funds for the relegation-threatened hub side.

Eswatini Financial Times can exclusively reveal that a meeting was held between current Wanderers Board of Governor, Bongani ‘Bhanyaza’ Mdluli, who has replaced long-serving official, Sandile ‘Chief’ Dlamini, and Maja held in Pretoria early this week where a verbal agreement was made.

Maja is expected to sign a contractual agreement giving him a 50 per cent stake in the maroon and white outfit by Thursday next week.
