Previously, Royal AM CEO Sinky Mnisi denied being involved in Mabena's move to Swallows FC after coming under fire.
The KwaZulu-Natal based team tried to ship Mabena off to Swallows in exchange for three other players.
“I also did not enter into any sale agreement of captain Ndumiso Mabena with any team. The contract for releasing Mabena to join Swallows was negotiated and signed by the president of Royal AM and Swallows FC,” said Mnisi.
“Mabena made a proposal to Royal AM for a mutual termination. The document was forwarded to Mkhize. He was party to the agreement that they are giving him to Swallows and it was his choice whether he wanted to go to Swallows. Not me. As we speak, Mabena is still at Royal AM.”
Weighing in on the possible signing of Mabena to Buccaneers, some fans said the team needed a player like him.
Other said Mabena would not bring anything new and instead the team should sign Marumo Gallants midfielder Ndabayithethwa Ndlondlo and Stellenbosch FC midfielder Junior Mendieta.
