Moroka Swallows club chairman Andrek Lesufi has confirmed club's return to the National First Division (NFD) after purchasing Maccabi FC's status.
Swallows have been campaigning in the ABC Motsepe League having been relegated to the third tier of South African football in 2016.
Maccabi club owner Allan Norman reportedly agreed to sell his side's status for R8 million this week.
Lesufi, who is the Gauteng MEC for Education, thanked Norman for accepting their offer, which includes taking over Maccabi's technical team, players and infrastructure.
"I would like to thank the Maccabi FC owner Allan. He is a gentleman," Lesufi told Marawa Sports Worldwide.
