People wrote me off - ex-Orlando Pirates winger Mokoena reflects on Moroka Swallows' PSL promotion

Moroka Swallows captain Lebohang 'Cheeseboy' Mokoena is pleased to have proved his doubters wrong after leading the Birds back to the Premier Soccer League (PSL).

The Soweto giants secured automatic promotion to the elite league after clinching the National First Division (NFD) title with a 3-0 win over Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila on the final day of the season on Sunday.

Mokoena, who had successful spells with Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns, struggled to find a club in the top flight league after leaving Ajax Cape Town in 2017 with the club having relegated to the NFD.
