Former glamour club, Mochudi Centre Chiefs face a FIFA sanction after failing to raise P120,000 to pay former coach, Philani Mabena.

The Kgatleng side has managed to raise only P22,000, but club spokesperson, Pollen Makgane is optimistic they will clear the debt. FIFA has written to Chiefs indicating that the club will face disciplinary proceedings on February 11. Punishment for the crime ranges from points deduction to demotion to a lower league. Makgane said they will meet today (Monday) to discuss FIFA’s correspondence.

“The chairman will respond (to FIFA). We are meeting to discuss the issue. So far we have managed to raise P22,000, but we are looking to clear the debt by Tuesday. I do not want to pre-empt, but we are expecting funds from somewhere,” Makgane said. FIFA has made it clear that the debt has to be cleared in full.
