MBABANE – Green Mamba’s forward, Sabelo ‘Sikhali’ Ndzinisa, has wrapped up the first round of the MTN Premier League in remarkable fashion as the leading goal scorer.
Ndzinisa has netted an impressive 14 goals in 12 matches, solidifying his position at the top of the scoring charts. Trailing behind him is Royal Leopard’s midfielder, Junior Magagula, with nine goals heading into match 13. Meanwhile, Rangers’ Musa Dlamini and Young Buffaloes’ Phiwayinkhosi Dlamini are tied for third, each scoring six goals so far.
This Saturday, Ndzinisa will lead Green Mamba in a highly anticipated showdown against Royal Leopard, vying for the MTN Premier League’s first-round prize of E100,000. Adding to the stakes, the match doubles as a forces derby, promising intense competition and bragging rights for the winner.
The clash is scheduled to take place at the King Sobhuza II Memorial Stadium, with kickoff set for 3:00 PM.
Ndzinisa, who last found the net during Green Mamba’s 2-0 victory over Mbabane Highlanders last Saturday at Mhlume Stadium, is no stranger to topping the scoring charts. He claimed last season’s top scorer title with 20 goals, earning him an E12,000 prize.
As the first round concludes this weekend, matches across the country are expected to bring excitement and competitive action to fans.
