Kubayini iGolden Arrows ilikahlwe yiFifa
I-Golden Arrows ihlangabezane nesijeziso esinzima ngemva kokutholwa yiFifa inecala lokungalikhokheli umdlali wayo wangaphambili, umgadisi oziwayo uKnox Mutizwa.
Lesi jeziso — ukuvalwa kwamawindi amathathu wokuthenga nabhalisa abadlali — senziwe ngenxa yokwehluleka kweklabhu ukukhuphela imali ebekumele iyikhokhele lowo mdlali.
Lokhu kutjho bona Abafana Bes’thende abavunyelwa ukubhalisa abadlali abatjha, kusukela ekhaya bekufike kwamazwe ngamazwe.
Kuze kube yilapho bayihlawula imali ekweletwa lo mdlali, ongumphethe irhekhodi lamagoli amanengi emlandweni weklabhu.
IFifa iqinisekisile bona ukuvinjelwa kokubhaliswa sekuphumelele ngokusemthethweni begodu kuzohlala kusebenzile kuze kube yilapho leli kweletu likhokhelwa.
Isitatimende seFifa sifundeka kanje:
“Kulesi simo, sifuna ukwazisa amaqembu azibandakanyako bona ukuvinjelwa kokubhalisa abadlali abatjha amazweni nangekhaya sekutjhatjhululiwe yiFifa eqenjini elisaphendulako.”
“Ukuvalwa kokubhalisa kuzohlala kusebenzile kuze kube yilapho imali ekweletwa ikhokhelwa, begodu isikhathi esiphezulu kungaba amawindi amathathu aphelele alandelanako wokubhalisa abadlali.”
Umzimba womhlaba webhola uthumelele iSafa (South African Football Association) umyalo wokuthi kuqinisekiswe bona lesi jeziso siqalwa begodu sisebenze ngokushesha emazingeni elizweni.
UMutizwa, othandwa khulu phakathi kwabalandeli be-Abafana Bes’thende, ushiye iklabhu njengomdlali okhululekile ngaphambi kokuphela kwesizini edluleko.
Lokhu kwenzeka ngemva kokuthi iklabhu imxotjhe ngamalwenga okuziphatha kumbi, kodwana ayikazange ikhiphe isitatimende esisemthethweni ngalokho.
Ngemva kokuhamba kwakhe, uMutizwa usayine neRichards Bay ngo-September begodu sele uyimbeleko ebalulekile eqenjini.
Ukuze ukuvalwa kweFifa kususwe, iGolden Arrows kufanele ikhokhele uMutizwa ngokushesha begodu ithumele ubufakazi bokuhlawula kuFifa.
