Ajax Cape Town have paid a heavy price for fielding
Warriors striker, Tendai Ndoro and have bee relegated from the South Africa Premier
Soccer League.
Ndoro's eligibility has been under question for months and
South African Football Association legal officer Tebogo Motlanthe said
arbitrator William Mokhari ruled that Ajax would be docked nine points from
three league matches in which the player was fielded by the Cape Town club.
By fielding Ndoro‚ Ajax Cape Town contravened Rule 54.1 of
the National Soccer League rules read with Article 22.9 of the constitution of
the National Soccer League‚ article paragraph 5 of the South African Football
Association regulations on the status and transfer of players as well as
article 5‚ paragraph 3 of the FIFA regulations on the status and transfer which
state: “Players may be registered with a maximum of three clubs during one
season. During this season‚ the player is only eligible to play official
matches for two clubs.”
Those matches were against Platinum Stars (January 12)‚
Polokwane City (February 4) and SuperSport United (February 28).
The games have been awarded to the three teams with 3-0
results and fined R50 000 for each game.
