SOCCER - HE is surely on a special mission!
The cat is finally out of the bag regarding intensions of embattled capital city giants Mbabane Highlanders Managing Director Chief Ally Kgomongwe, who has interestingly been offered full ownership at Botswana outfit, Extension Gunners.

This comes after a series of meetings between the two parties.
Kgomongwe is also the official director at the local capital city side, which is currently embroiled in an ownership triangle with him, resulting in players going hungry and an exodus of critical personnel.

Information gathered is that talks are at an advanced stage between Kgomongwe and Gunners' hierarchy and a deal is imminent.

In the local scene, Kgomongwe owns 80 per cent shares at Mbabane Highlanders.
Sources close to the matter disclosed that Kgomongwe will also sign a lease agreement with one of the stadiums in Botswana that will see him getting revenue for any bookings.

Other parts of the deal say Extension Gunners will get a club-house.
"It is a good deal per se and it shall be concluded anytime from now. You must also contact Kgomongwe, I think he will say something," said the source.

Kgomongwe confirmed the ongoing talks between him and Gunners.
"Yes, I have been in talks with Extension Gunners. They have offered me total ownership of the club and other things.

I am still yet to sign on the dotted lines.
You know I am a spiritual person, so I am still consulting. But what I can tell you is that they love me there," he said.

The Pretoria-based businessman added that he was yet to make a decision regarding Mbabane Highlanders.

Interestingly, former Mbabane Highlanders coach Mthunzi Ginindza has also joined Gunners.
The coach will be joined by outgoing Highlanders Manager Simiso 'Space' Jele, who will assume a similar position at the Botswana club.
