THE BIGGER PICTURE

"May I kindly take the opportunity to thank you for your amazing perseverance and professionalism," the former Sundowns coach said in a letter addressed to the Swallows staff and players."You portrayed selfless resilience, irrespective of circumstances. There were moments when none of us would know what more to say to you but you always carried yourselves with poise, pride, dignity, and amazing respect. Thank you for respecting the Game, respecting the League, and the supporters."I shall always respect and remember you. Finally, at least, at the least, the suspense, and the sad painful uncertainty come to a decisive end. May you forever be blessed henceforth and forever. Notwithstanding the circumstances, you have already collected 19 points to build from."May I kindly request you to give the same support to Coaches Musa Nyatama, Ditheko Mototo, and Thela Ngobeni. Good luck my brothers with the delicate task lying ahead. Give it your best. It is illegal to enter an exit."

WHAT KOMPHELA SAID

Swallows are currently placed in the 13th position with 19 points from 17 games, just six points above the relegation zone, and must up their game to avoid dropping into the danger zone currently occupied by Richards Bay, 15, and Cape Town Spurs who are at the bottom of the table.Komphela will now open his wings, hoping to secure a new team to continue with his coaching career.
