CAS upholds FIFA ruling on Mafu case with Ngezi Platinum


The Court of Arbitration for Sport has upheld FIFA’s ruling that Ngezi Platinum must pay former assistant coach Bongani Mafu US$196,750 for unfair dismissal.

Mafu signed with Ngezi Platinum in March 2022 on a 4 year deal but was dismissed in July 2022 after just for months into the deal.

The coach signed the deal and was set to receive:

. Sign-on fee: USD 4,800 “for the duration of the Contract and shall be paid as a once
of instalment per season”;
• Monthly salary: USD 3,200 before the 30th day of every month;
• Housing: USD 150 per month;
• Transport: “where transport is not provided, the club will pay an advised amount of
transport allowance of USD 30”;
• Winning bonus: USD 480 per match; and
• Draw bonus: 50% of the win bonus for away games only.

In addition, subject to Addendums A and B of the Contract, the Appellant and the coach also agreed on the following performance incentives for the 2022 season only:

• League Champions: 200% of one month’s salary;
• Top 2 in League: 50% of one month’s salary;
• For all cup competitions: 2.5% of total prize money won by the club (“50% shall go
to the club and the remaining 50%, net of all expenses for participation in the CUP,
shall be the Team’s Share which will be shared amongst the team (players and technical
staff) as follows: The First Assistant Coach shall receive 5% of the Team’s Share.”);

Meanwhile Benjani Mwaruwari also has a similar case with Ngezi Platinum and the club has been ordered to pay US $600,000 for unfair dismissal as well.
