"We took them to FIFA because in seven months I only got paid once. I tried by all means to make a settlement agreement but it never came through. I want the club to pay me what they owe me and walk away. I had no choice but to take them to FIFA," he said.

"I never ever had the explanation (about special leave) – not in writing and nothing verbal. I don't know what happened. I don't know why I was put on special leave. They gave me the papers a couple of days before the President (Cyril Ramaphosa) announced the lockdown and I left. I don't know what's happening in that club as nobody (in senior management) called me. Only the PRO and my assistant and some members of the technical team called me when I lost my dad. But the management and the chairman never called me," confirmed the coach.
