Club History:
The Beautiful Birds are one of the oldest
and most prestigious soccer clubs in
South Africa. The team has adapted with
the times and the evolving social situation
in the country to become an icon of
positive change to their supporters.
The club was founded in the 1940's
by a trio of soccer lovers, Ishmael
Lesolang, Strike Makgatha and Johnny
Kubheka.
They originally named the side Congregated
Rovers after the firm in which most
of the players and officials worked,
later changing it to Moroka Rovers.
But then, on the 10th of October 1947,
the trio decided to change the name
again to Moroka Swallows, basing themselves
in the township formally known as Masakeng.
The name has lasted for the best part
of 55 years, a period which has seen
consistent success both on the field
and off it.
The 1950's and 60's were a successful
time for the club, culminating in their
greatest ever achievement, winning the
South African League title in 1965.
Off the field, the club was becoming
a business and in 1971 they became the
first ever soccer team to register as
a public company.
That same year they were also the first
to receive an official sponsorship when
Teljoy began their association with
the club.
The decade between 1982 and 1992 was
a successful one for the team, culminating
in four pieces of silverware.
