The coach spent seven months at Swallows, in which he managed to stabilise the club, despite the ongoing financial issues that continue to plague them.
In true Steve Komphela fashion, the coach penned a heartfelt letter to those left behind in the birds' nest.
Komphela's final words to the club's faithful supporters is that they should rally behind the trio of Musa Nyatama, Ditheko Mototo and Thela Ngobeni, who have been tasked with overseeing the club in the interim.
"To Moroka Swallows Staff Players. May I kindly take the opportunity, to thank you for your amazing perseverance and professionalism. You portrayed selfless resilience, irrespective circumstances. There were moments, where none of us would know what more to say to you but you always carried yourselves with poise, pride, dignity and amazing respect. Thank you for respecting The Game, respecting The League and The Supporters. I shall always respect and remember you. Finally, at least, at the least, the suspense, the sad painful uncertainty comes to a decisive end. May you forever be blessed henceforth and forever. Notwithstanding the circumstances, you have already collected 19 points to build from.May I kindly request you to give the same support to Coaches Musa Nyatama, Ditheko Mototo and Thela Ngobeni. Good luck my brothers with the delicate task lying ahead. Give it your best."It is illegal to enter an exit".Thank you all with your amazing support.With LoveSteve Komphela"
