Moroka Swallows coach Musa Nyatama is hoping one of their latest signings can finally showcase his talent in the DSTV Premiership.
After parting ways with some players a few weeks ago, the Dube Birds brought in a few faces to reinforce the squad and one of the men they brought in is Augustine Mahlonoko, who was a free agent after leaving Motsepe Foundation Championship side NB La Masia.

Mahlonoko, once tipped to be a star at Pirates after making his debut as a 16-year-old, made his debut for Swallows over the weekend, coming on as a second half substitute. He was, however, unable to help the club as the Dube Birds were beaten 1-0 by a more dominant Polokwane City side at Dobsonville Stadium.
Nyatama has followed the progress of Mahlonoko over the years and is hoping that they can help the attacking midfielder to finally showcase his talent after showing glimpses of brilliance at his former clubs.
"Very talented boy. Unfortunately, he has not shown us his talent. I am sure we will try to help him to do well for himself and for the team. He has tried to showcase his talent," Nyatama told the media after Swallows' Premiership match against Rise and Shine.
Having been given opportunities to bounce back after leaving Pirates, Mahlonoko has to make the most of his time with Swallows to get his career on track.

It's going to be a difficult task with Swallows struggling after the drama of a player strike, but there is no better time to shine than in the midst of a storm.
Swallows will be back in action when they take on Motsepe Foundation Championship side Platinum City Rovers away from home in the Nedbank Cup last 32 this Saturday.
