David Mogashoa Moroka Swallows revival
Mogashoa and Panyaza Lesufi, Gauteng Minister of Education, worked hard to make sure that the falling Soweto giants regained their status. Leon Prins, the previous Swallows FC owner, had given the heavily indebted club to Panyaza. The minister had to find investors, and in October 2019, David purchased the club’s intellectual property rights. The club with Panyaza as the president, Xulu as the chief executive, and Mogashoa as the chairperson has bought two football clubs in two different leagues in the revival journey.
The Dube Birds have been doing well ever since. They won the National First Division title in the 2019/2020 season. On 30th August 2020, The Birds were promoted to the South African Premier Soccer League since they lost their top-flight status in the 2014/2015 season. Fans could not have been any happier that their fallen giant is back.
