Treble champions Nsiblngizini Hotspurs, alsi fondly called the ‘Green Machine’ or Insingizi Yezulu, is in the transfer spotlight again – beyond Eswatini’s borders.
As exclusively reported by this publication over a month ago, Nsingizini stars Yekisizwe ‘Yeki’ Khumalo and Thubelihle ‘Messi’ Mavuso have joined Hardrock FC.
The midfield duo reportedly signed two-year contracts with the Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League (ZPSL) side on Wednesday. 
The ex-National Under-23 players left the country on Tuesday to sign on the dotted line, and they are expected to return home on Thursday.
A source close to the matter revealed that the players are now with Hardrock FC.
“The players have signed for Hardrock, and they will be returning home on Thursday to finalise their travelling logistics.
The transfer deal is handled at the highest level by the presidents of the two clubs, Shepherd Chahwanda and Derrick Shiba,” said an impeccable source.
The further said they will be unveiled before the end of the week by their new club. They will reunite with their former teammates Neliswa ‘Tiger’ Dlamini and Sambulo ‘Masoso’ Dlamini at Hardrock FC.
Another ex-Nsingizini player who is plying his trade in Zimbabwe is Kwakhe Thwala, who is in the books of Scotland FC.
Nsingizini Chief Executive Officer Banele Ngobe could not be reached for comment when compiling this report.
The two players were part of the Shiselweni-based side squad that won a treble this season in the Ingwenyama Cup, 8Bet Trade Fair Cup and MTN Premier League under the guidance of South African mentor Mandla Qhogi.
The move has increased the number of foreign-based players to 15 after the likes of Lindo Mkhonta (Zesco United, Zambia), Justice Figareido (Chippa United, South Africa), Thulani Njingane (Orbit College, South Africa), Mxolisi Mkhonto (Botswana Defence Force), Banele Ndzabandzaba (Botswana Police XI), Sizwe Gwebu (Uganda Police) and the Ferraviaro duo of Bandile Shongwe and Sanele Magwaza(Mozambique).
