News reaching the Siya crew is that Chippa United have become the latest club to have a transfer ban imposed on them by FIFA in relation to their alleged failure to pay money owed to the club’s former player Augustine Kwem.
The Nigerian striker left the Chilli Boys last year to join TS Galaxy after making notable progress with the Gqeberha outfit.
The 24-year-old forward had been with the Eastern Cape outfit since 2019 and had a three-year contract extension offered to him the following year after scoring eight goals in all competitions for the team in his first season with the club, before being sold to Galaxy.
The Siya crew has seen a document from FIFA to the South African Football Association and Chippa confirming the ban due to outstanding payments.
