Former Mamelodi Sundowns General manager Kenneth Makhanya has been appointed CEO for the Premier league of eSwatini (PLE) on a two-year contract.
Makhanya is not new to eSwatini Football as he was once the CEO of the eSwatini Football Association (EFA).
He is an experienced administrator with a demonstrated history of working in the professional football at Sundowns as well as Black Leopards.
Makhanya left Sundowns in 2020 after having re-joined the club on a short-term contract.
“Without steady streams of revenue professional clubs cannot survive. We have learnt that at Chelsea after Roman Abramovich got suspended by the authorities the club is in serious trouble already. So even here we have to live within our means, work closely with strategic committees and find out how can we get the best revenue possible for our clubs so that they become very competitive. We will really have to work the ground,” said Makhanya after his appointment.
With Makhanya’s vast administration experience the Premier League is set to turn things around and achieve the professional status.
