Bloemfontein–based Marumo Gallants has confirmed receiving court documents relating to Moroka Swallows’ sale of its Premier Soccer League top flight status just before the start of the 2025/26 last in August.

A statement from the club said at this stage, as the matter is now before the court, the club will not be making any further public comments nor will it be participating in media interviews regarding the issue.

Marumo Gallants respects the legal process and will allow the matter to proceed through the appropriate judicial channels, adding that the club would like to assure its supporters, partners and stakeholders that operations continue as normal.

“Management, technical staff and players remain fully focused on preparations and ongoing commitments for the remainder of the season. Marumo Gallants appreciates the continued support and understanding from its fans and partners during this time,” the club statement said.

The club said further communication will be issued if and when appropriate, but for now, the team’s full attention remains firmly on football matters as preparations continue for the upcoming fixture on March 1 against Durban City, the statement said.

Swallows said it has sought relief from the court as it accused Marumo Gallants of not honouring the terms and conditions of its payment commitment on the sale of the status last year.
