Swallows is poor. They cannot afford him. Mr Jomo Sono's Jomo Cosmos is rich. He will be paid R75 000 he wants monthly.

The guy snubbed Jomo thinking he would get more money at Swallows.Now he comes back to Jomo.Absolutely no loyalty to u Bra J.If u sign him & he doesn't help ur team's course?That will be wastefulness.For me the guy doesn't deserve ur team.

I hope he ends up playing for Jomo Cosmos. Cosmos desperately needs a striker with experience and class. Mwafulifa has all that.

Swallows is underpaying its players. That is why he came back to Jomo Cosmos.

This cosmos fan cum spokesman is suffering from acute resentiment of anything not cosmos,a classical case of amnesia,since when has the greedy jomo paying better salaries to any of his employees in any of his bussiness concerns,let alone the yoyo cosmos? Cosmos pays only better than leopards.

Ah......Akunandzaba. Swallows does not have to waste money on an individual.....what if He does not score goals like Mpho Maleka.... I think players need to be put on probation as well coz some of them don't deliver. Don't follow me follow da Birds.....2nd round siyabuya
