A decade later, Zebras fail to kick-on

Eswatini’s Sihlangu Semnikati have been considered the region’s lightweights in football over the years. But that narrative is slowly changing with their strong performances in the regional COSAFA Cup.

However, they are still regarded as a team transiting from the lower to the middle rungs of regional football. They have never been to the Africa Cup of Nations finals, a feat which the Zebras achieved under Stanley Tshosane in 2012.
