MOROKA SWALLOWS UP FOR SALE?

Following a week of drama at the ‘Dube Birds’, the chairman of the club, David Mogashoa, has come out to state that the situation of players being unpaid as previously reported on our [1]Tab4Racing news platform, has been unequivocally resolved as "players have been paid in full".

However, as reported by Football publication, FarPost, the history-laden ‘Dube Birds’ could be up for sale once again amid their financial woes that have seen them hit the headlines for the wrong reasons.  

Following their first season back in the top flight, Swallows finished in 6^th place and with the success of their comeback, Telecommunications company, Telkom, were highly likely to become the sponsors of the team, until their agreement was blocked by the PSL, which led to the club having no lucrative backing to keep their lights on.

However, the club persevered in hopes that a sponsorship could come along with deals with Aquelle and Drip being acquired along the way to assist the club.

At the beginning of the current season, it seemed like the club had turned the corner when they announced that the team will finally get its original name back after a FIFA ban was imposed on the club for unpaid salaries by its previous owners. For the past few years, the team was known as Swallows FC until it revived its origins with the name Moroka Swallows.

Bringing in names like Andile Jali into their books along with the likes of Gabadinho Mhango, the current situation at the club was unforeseen by bystanders. Irregardless, the rut seems to continue in the management side of things despite how well Swallows started their campaign on the field of play.  

Although the club’s sale is imminent according to sources, the details of the potential sale remain elusive.

Swallows are currently eighth on the DStv Premiership table, having won five, drawn three and lost five games. They take on Royal AM on Saturday at the Harry Gwala Stadium in a DStv Premiership encounter.
