Swallows FC soared back to the Premiership with a 3-0 victory over Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila FC (TTM) to book their place in the top-flight ahead of the start of the new season next month.

Given Thibedi put the Dube Birds in the lead as early as the seventh minute and Kagiso Malinga doubled the advantage with a second strike a few minutes later.

The three goals meant heartbreak for Ajax‚ who could only manage a 3-0 win over Mbombela United when a 4-0 scoreline would have been enough to clinch automatic promotion. It became nervy towards the end though when‚ with Swallows leading 3-0 against TTM‚ Ajax made it 3-0 for themselves against Mbombela in the dying minutes of the match.
