Mike Makaab, the agent of Andile Jali, has confirmed that Andile Jali was also dismissed by Moroka Swallows.
Swallows have been in the news lately for mostly off-the-field issues. The Dube Birds didn’t play their last two DStv Premiership matches in December after players went on strike due to unpaid salaries, and they have already been punished by the PSL DC for this matter.
They were fined R1 million, with R600,000 suspended, while games were rated as walk-overs and their opponents Mamelodi Sundowns Golden Arrows received three points and 3-0 wins.
Two weeks ago, it was revealed that 22 players were dismissed by the club after a disciplinary hearing and appearing before an internal DC.
On Monday, Makaab confirmed on Gagasi FM that Jali was also dismissed by the club, but his agency Pro Sport are contesting the decision.
Jali joined Swallows ahead of the season, in a move which was widely celebrated and seen as a new era of the Dube Birds, who seemed to have shaken off their financial struggles from the past.
It was also a reunion between Jali and Steve Komphela after the pair’s time at Mamelodi Sundowns. On the field, things were initially going well with Swallows competing in the upper half of the table but following no wins in their last five games and two walkovers against them, they have dropped to 11th on log.
