It appears legendary national team Sihlangu Semnikati forward Siza ‘King Pele’ Dlamini’s time with Mbabane Swallows FC is over.
His contract reportedly came to a halt a while ago despite his continued commitment. Impeccable sources have claimed his recent tell-it-all statement during the club’s Pty faction supporters’ meeting over a week ago was perfectly timed.
“He knew he was not returning to the club after those statements which he meant to save the club, but he knew his contract was up as well. 
“There are talks in hushed tones to scout our former star Stanford Ncube from Manzini Wanderers,” said one of the sources.
One more source claimed Ncube was seen as a potential replacement.
“After Siza went out spilling the beans, there’s no way he can return to work with our undeefire management,” said the source who declared he wished this factionalism was non-existent.
The source said it was derailing progress and could spell disaster for the team ahead of next season. Meanwhile, Ncube said Swallows needed to fix their house first, otherwise, he was still at Manzini Wanderers.
“It’s news to me they are interested. I’m still with Wanderers aa up to now, am not aware of any changes,” Ncube responded when questioned if he was aware of the said Swallows interest.
Both Ncube and Dlamini played for Swallows during their heyday.
The Umkhonto KaShaka’s (Swallows)Public Relations Officer (PRO) Knowledge ‘Bhambo’ Ngwenya was not immediately available when sought.
However, the former Jomo Cosmos forward and assistant coach affirmed he no longer had any contract with Swallows.
“Replace me they can but they mustn’t forget they still owe me,” said Dlamini.
He said his contract had long lapsed but got automatically renewed as he started receiving payment upon his return from Nsingizini Hotspurs.
He said all he needed was his money.
