Swallows FC silencing 'retirement home' talk by stunning Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates

The Dube Birds appear to be punching above their weight in their return to the top-flight, surprising their Soweto rivals

After a five-year absence from the Premier Soccer League (PSL), Swallows FC have come back with a bang.

Placed second on the standings, they are unbeaten in 10 league matches with two points fewer than leaders Mamelodi Sundowns.

So far they have prevailed over fellow traditional giants Kaizer Chiefs following a 1-0 victory before Kamohelo Mahlatsi’s injury-time goal helped them frustrate Orlando Pirates in Sunday's 1-1 draw.
