South African Football Players Union

The South African Football Players Union and Edward Motale, a professional football player of 12 years’ standing (who has played locally and has also represented the National side Bafana Bafana) launched an application on 23 October 2000 against the Ria Stars Football Club (“Stars”). The applicants sought an order:

1 Declaring the respondent’s conduct in giving the second applicant (i.e., Mr Motale) a clearance certificate, constitutes a repudiation of the fixed term contract of employment concluded by the second applicant and the respondent.

2 Directing the respondent to pay the applicant’s outstanding salaries in the amount of R 113 333,40, calculated from the date of breach of the contract to the last day of the fixed term contract.

3 Interest at the prescribed legal rate from the date of demand to the date of payment.

4 Costs of the suit.

Stars opposed the application and filed an answering affidavit by Mr Malombo Lechaba, its coach. A confirmatory affidavit was filed by Mr Junior Ramusi, Stars general manager. Ms Ria Ledwaba, the managing director of Stars, signed a resolution of the board which, significantly, authorised Mr Lechaba to oppose the application.
