The Premier Soccer League status of Swallows has been bought by Marumo Gallants.
Swallows, one of the oldest professional football clubs in South Africa, will cease to exist after the sale of the club.
To make matters worse, the club founded in 1947 in Dube in Soweto, will not remain in Gauteng but is relocating to the Free State.“We’ve been hearing this for the past month or so, it’s been hurting us, we are dead, we thought this was just a rumour, it won’t happen. Yes, we know teams do fall, like we went down and we came back. You know we are from the Motsepe league with Panyaza and everybody. I was the last fan standing to bring this team back with others including Jeff.
They staged a comeback and gained promotion to the Premier League at the end of the 2019/2020 season, but the problems persisted.One supporter said: “Our team is going, we did not have good management. They didn’t know why they were here and what they were doing. Since we started supporting Swallows, we’ve never seen the club relegated under these people”.
