Another twist is appearing in the disciplinary matters threatening the Absa Premiership title race and the battle for survival, with AmaZulu arguing that the six points docked by Fifa must be reinstated, by DanieMothowagae

An email by Fifa, dated March 12, instructs Safa to deduct points from AmaZulu’s “legal successor”, Richards Bay, and not AmaZulu.

However, the Durban club claims that Nambandi’s contract was with AmaZulu Football Club Pty Ltd, but the team is now owned by a different entity, Lyrastar Investments. Fifa’s email said: “Richards Bay Football Club can be considered the legal successor of the AmaZulu Football Club that belonged to AmaZulu Pty Ltd.”

In the midst of all this, AmaZulu’s lawyers deduced that Safa “did not apply its mind” and “merely passed on correspondence to Fifa”. AmaZulu’s general manager, Lunga Sokhela, said yesterday that the club could not comment as the matter was between Safa and Fifa. He referred City Press to the two football governing bodies. “We are focused on planning for next season because the matter has been dragging on for a long time. Direct your questions to Fifa and Safa,” he said.

PSL appeal may ruin Sundowns' partyThis is because the PSL has decided to appeal the verdict of the Disciplinary Committee not to deduct points from Sundowns in the matter involving the illegal fielding of Wayne Arendse. trueG_88 trueG_88 orlandopirates we don't want boardroom points.. We simply weren't good enough at the end... Let's see what happens Saturday.. If we lose we lose.. trueG_88 Nt now plz trueG_88 The only cheap and sensical thing to do is to deduct those points. My theory tells me Dr IK played it smartly knowing fully well this was going to happen. 'I was against deduction of points but PSL felt otherwise', he's vindicated and Bucs wins the league.
