“We wrote to the directors of Township Holdings reminding them of the judgment but as we speak they have ignored the judgment hence why we are filing for contempt of court,” he said.
Concerned Rollers members had taken Shah and Somerset Gobuiwang citing to court arguing they were not supposed to run the club through a commercial entity. The High Court ruled in Seisa and companys favor, citing that the society executive committee should run the affairs of the society not a company. An interim committee was then installed in a bid to find common ground as the club prepares to hold an Annual General Meeting next weekend. There have been divisions within the interim committee between the pro Shah group and the Seisa faction. The Seisa group argues Shah is still running the affairs of the team, contrary to the court ruling. Interim committee treasurer, Nfolo Nfolo said he is in the dark about the club’s finances due to the fact that the accounts have not been handed over to him. He revealed that he was forced to sign a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) for a loan deal by Shah; he however said he retracted his signature.
“I signed the MoA under duress, I was told the transport and accommodation for our game in Serowe would not be paid for. However after some introspection I retracted my signature from the MoA,” he said. Nfolo further accused Shah for using the clubs resources solely for his benefit.
Rollers founding member Allen Compton said he would welcome any investor to the club as long as they abide by the proper regulations. “This is like my child and will like to see the club grow. I will welcome any investor to the club but will however oppose anyone who will try to use illegal procedures to try to take the club from us. I will fight until the last drop of my blood to see that proper channels are followed,” Compton vowed.
The never-ending Rollers impasse is in its fourth year.
