Gauteng MEC for education Panyaza Lesufi‚ who is a staunch Swallows fan, told The Sowetan they remained in discussions with their liquidators to find a solution.

“We have a reprieve because documents were not appropriately filed by the liquidators‚ but we remain in discussions, and both legal teams will be meeting as soon as possible to clear the air,” said Lesufi.

“At the moment, we are not aware of when we will be back in court, but our legal team will be working on it‚” the MEC added.
