Manzini Wanderers and the football fraternity have had a sad crossover into 2024.
This follows the tragic demise of the ‘ Weslians ‘ defender Banele Dlamini who died after collapsing during a stokvel on Sunday at Lavumisa.
Dlamini has become the fourth footballer to pass away this season after the Ubombo Flyers duo of Simanga Kutsemba, Phumlani Masango and Denver Sundowns striker Mukelo Nkhambule.
