A young African author once said “ the bird dares to break the shell, then the shell breaks open and the bird can fly openly. This is the simplest principle of success. You dream, you dare and you fly.”

When birds fly it is a sight of beauty. For the past weeks the Dube Birds were nothing more than caged animals but on Wednesday night we were reminded of that beauty we had so dearly missed.

It was even more heartening to hear midfielder Asavela Mbekile raising his hand assuming responsibility dire performance the team had been churning out. All we want from our boys is for them to dare. Let us dare that Swallows will have the audacity to achieve 3 points for a hotly contested top 8 finish when we play Ajax tonight.

Let the Birds fly even higher!
