Moroka Swallows' search for a front-of-jersey sponsor continues with chairman David Mogashoa determined to find a backer for one of the traditional top clubs in the Premier Soccer League.
The Dube Birds fought their way back to the elite level of SA football three years ago under then coach Brandon Truter and have been in talks with several interested parties to partner up with the brand.
Swallows were close to announcing a deal with Telkom in 2021, but were blocked by the PSL with a few of the issues said to be around conflict of interest with some of the League's sponsors in the telecom space.
Recently, reports emerged of Hollywoodbets holding discussions with the Swallows boss with a view of coming on board, but Mogashoa publicly denied any conversations with the betting company.
Siya sources have also indicated that Gold Rush, who also offer online betting and other forms of entertainment, were mentioned as an alternative by the DubeBirds – however, nothing has materialised at this stage.
A deal that the Dobsonville-based side have been able to seal and deliver is that of a new technical sponsor in Drip wear, owned by entrepreneur and businessman Lekau Sehoana, and this was well-received by the foot-ball community.
The target now is to nail down a major sponsor to also help alleviate the financial pressure running the club has put on Mogashoa, who often has to top up the R2 million grant from the League with money from his own business.
