Leopards in hot water over Banda?
Black Leopards may become the subject of a
complaint by the FA of Malawi (FAM) after reportedly terminating the contract
of Dave Banda.
Leopards have already said that they will
not register the Malawi international for the new PSL season as they have
already reached their quota of five foreign players.
But now the club stands accused of
terminating the player’s contract with two years still to run, but offering him
just a month’s salary as compensation.
"Black Leopards have terminated the
player's contract so they are supposed to pay him for the rest of the period in
his contract," Malawi FA CEO Suzgo Nyirenda told The Times.
"But he told me this morning that the
club had said they would only pay him a month salary which is a breach of the
contract. I tried to find out if that was in the contract but he said it's
not."
Banda’s manager Kondie Msungama appeared to
confirm the news.
"When I first heard about Dave's
predicament I contacted FAM for guidance on the matter. We will not rest until
justice is done. I think these South African clubs are taking us for granted,"
Msungama said.
"They think they can pick a player,
sign him and later dump him just like that. Dave has a running contract and if
the club has terminated it, they have to pay-off the remaining period, it's a
straight forward issue."
