Denver Sundowns were promoted to top level in 1986,
Green Mamba in 1993;
Mhlume United were formed out of a merger between Mhlume FC and
  Mhlume Peacemakers (who had just been relegated; probably after
  the 1992 season);
in July it was announced Denver Sundowns and Hub Sundowns might
  merge before the 2004/05 season


NB: on June 18, it was reported (in the Swazi Observer) that
    Highlanders would join Mhlambanyatsi Rovers in the 2005 
    African Champions League.
    This is fairly peculiar as there is no way Swaziland would
    be able to claim two places in the competition if CAF keep
    their current admission criteria and the Confederations Cup
    place went to Green Mamba as cup winners.

[*] Highway Never Die obtained 33 points instead of 31; the league
    have admitted they counted a match won by Highway Never Die 
    as a draw but not yet disclosed a corrected table.  It is however
    confirmed Highway Never Die finished fourth.

NB: 3 more goals scored than conceded; table inconsistent with 
    previously published tables for various clubs.

NB: the right for being the 12th participant was contested between
    Lusushwana Rhinos and Luyengo Foxes; after a prolonged battle
    behind the green table the place was finally given to Rhinos
    on Mar 5, 2004; however, Foxes appealed again; on August 16, 
    2004 (!), Rhinos won again in the High Court and will obtain
    their First Division place for 2004/05 while Foxes will play 
    in the Manzini Super League 2004/05.  Meanwhile, the league was
    finished with just 11 teams, and Siqaqa have protested against 
    their relegation.

NB: Nkomazi Sundowns had won both matches but had them awarded against
    them for failing to pay a fine to the regional FA; they thereby
    dropped from fifth to ninth in the standings; they eventually
    were relegated to the Promotional League;
    on appeal these penalties were declared null and void, which meant
    Bush Bucks (Piggs Peak) rather than Manchester United won the
    Zone; Bush Bucks are now demanding a play-off against Vento Umoya

Winners: Bush Bucks (57 points), after Manchester United had 3 points
         deducted obtained from an awarded match against Nkomazi Sundowns

    they did not play against the 16th team as per the rules of the 
    league.  On August 16, 2004, Rhinos finally won their case and will
    play at the 2nd level 2004/05, while Foxes rejoing the Manzini Super
