Steve Sekano Reportedly Explains Decision to Leave Moroka Swallows Steering Committee

Moroka Swallows legend Steve Sekano has reportedly explained his decision to leave the club’s steering committee, adding another development to the ongoing efforts to revive the historic South African football institution.

Sekano has remained closely associated with the Dube Birds and is among the former players who have shown a strong commitment to restoring the club’s former glory. His involvement in the revival efforts reflects the determination of former players and supporters to protect Swallows’ identity and ensure the club has a future in South African football.

Moroka Swallows has endured significant difficulties in recent years, particularly following financial challenges that affected its position in the professional game. The club’s Premier Soccer League status was sold to Marumo Gallants in 2024, marking a painful moment for supporters who had hoped to see the historic team continue competing at the highest level.

Since then, efforts to bring the club back have continued through the Bring Back The Birds initiative, which established a steering committee to mobilise supporters, attract potential investors and develop a sustainable revival plan.

However, the announcement of Moroka Swallows Sports Club under businessman Walter Mokoena has reportedly created uncertainty surrounding the relationship between the new project and the existing steering committee. Committee representatives have expressed disappointment over claims that they were not consulted before the announcement.

Sekano’s departure has consequently drawn attention to the different approaches being pursued to restore the club. Reports have also indicated that Mokoena approached former Swallows players and legends to participate in the revival initiative.

While Sekano’s decision has attracted interest, the specific reasons for his departure cannot be conclusively established from the available information.

For Swallows supporters, the central concern remains finding a sustainable way to restore the club while preserving its proud history and identity. How the various stakeholders work together could prove crucial in determining whether the Dube Birds can eventually return to competitive football.
