Moroka Swallows rubbishes Kaindu talks

Moroka Swallows CEO Leon Prins has dismissed recent media reports suggesting that the club is considering hiring Kelvin Kaindu, who is the coach of Triangle United in the Zimbabwean topflight.
Newspapers in Zimbabwe reported that Kaindu - holder of a UEFA B coaching certificate and former coach of Zimbabwean giants Highlanders - was holding talks with Swallows.
'Former Highlanders coach Kelvin Kaindu could soon be appointed by South African club Moroka Swallows if on-going talks are successful,' reported the newspapers.
'Zambian national Kaindu, who joined Triangle as technical director after parting ways with Highlanders two months ago, is being eyed by Swallows as a replacement for Zeca Marques, who was fired in October following a string of poor results,' added the report.
However, Prins tells KickOff.com that the club will be sticking with caretaker coach Fani Madida, who has been at the helm since the departure of Marques.
Even Saturday's 3 - 2 defeat to University of Pretoria will not affect Madida's position at the club, says Prins.
"That article is not true. That is nonsense," Prins says, referring to the report linking the club to Kaindu.
"Let me make it clear, once again, that we are not talking to any coaches at the moment. We are solidly behind Fani and we believe he has the ability to lead the club back to winning ways," he adds.
