The business of Swallows| How Moroka Swallows pulled off what is probably the first such revival in the PSL era, and the man behind it all

ar from the regular status-buying transactions that are common in local football, the story of the rise of the Dube Birds is something that will be remembered for generations to come, both on and off the field.

“With two games remaining in the season, Prins called Lesufi and offered him the club as he was one of the more passionate fans. Without any paperwork, he was just given the club. So Panyaza has been running with this thing since then,” said Mogashoa, an ardent Swallows supporter. “People think it is Fifa that is preventing us from using Moroka – it’s not. We are just being careful because we don’t want to be found wanting and then be docked points. Our immediate aim is promotion [to the premier division],” he said, adding that Alves was owed almost $15 000 four years ago. Calculated using today’s rand exchange rate, but excluding interest, this amounts to about R270 000.

“The ABC Motsepe League team [where Swallows last campaigned] is now known as Orange Vaal Professional. So we sold the team back to the people we bought it from in 2016, without the name and brought the name to the NFD,” he said.David Mogashoa was born in Newscastle, KwaZulu-Natal, and his family moved to Kgwara village in Limpopo when he was three.

“There was a time when the business was shaky as the corporates were delaying payments. I almost quit to go and look for a job. Luckily, the business picked up,” he said. “I also don’t know much about soccer, but I know business and I surround myself with people who know soccer,” he said.
