The letter gave the players 72 hours to report back to the club.Moloi insisted he was not going back to DRC without revealing much detail on why he is refusing.FIFA responded to an email enquiry, saying: 'We have checked for records concerning either of the players and the club mentioned by you, without, however, finding any entry relating to the alleged disputes to which reference you made. Therefore, to this date, we do not appear to have been formally contacted in this respect.'Zebras' striker Jerome Ramatlhakwana returned to DR Congo early last week despite being unhappy with several issues there.This week it emerged that most of the players' complaints were surrounding contractual issues.

They were forced to pay for their own accommodation while the club does not pay salaries during the off-season. During the season, the club delays to pay salaries.The former Mochudi Centre Chiefs players also claim the lifestyle in DRC is unbearable with the political unrest rooting from capital, Kinshasa, spilling to Lubumbashi - Don Bosco's base.The trio recently sought the help of the Footballers' Union of Botswana (FUB) and the union has since forwarded their qualms to their counterparts in Congo. 

The union awaits a response from their DRC counterparts and are aware language barrier could be a drawback. They are assisting the players to have contracts with Don Bosco terminated after spending barely a year at the emerging giants of DRC. They each penned five year contracts last year in May.
