class=\"soccer24-banner-image\"\/><\/div>\n<p>Ngezi Platinum Stars have been slapped with a three-window transfer ban after failing to settle former assistant coach Bongani Mafu\u2019s outstanding US$196,750.<\/p>\n<p>Mafu signed a four-year contract with Ngezi Platinum in March 2022 but was dismissed in July the same year, just four months into the deal.<\/p>\n<p>The coach took the matter to FIFA and the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), with both rulings made in his favour.<\/p>\n<p>Ngezi were given until last month to settle the amount, but failed to do so, resulting in the club being banned from registering new players.<\/p>\n<p>The sanction will take effect from January, meaning the club will be unable to sign any new players during the three transfer windows.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, former Warriors captain Benjani Mwaruwari also has a similar case against Ngezi Platinum, with the club was ordered to pay US$600,000 for unfair dismissal.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related Posts<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- \n\n<footer
