They are represented by Tefo Sibanda while Kgosietsile Ngakaagae appears for the club. Sibanda argued that the club is a society and cannot be run by a company (Township Holdings). He said the club’s constitution only allows the executive committee to run the team and not a company.
He said that although some resolutions were agreed upon in principle during a special general meeting in 2012, they have not yet been confirmed because certain procedures have not been followed. At the meeting, Sibanda said, the general membership was to discuss among other things the amendment of the club constitution and the proposed assistance from businessman, Jagdish Shah. He said the proposed assistance by Shah could only be realised if the Rollers’ constitution had been amended. “That was on the basis that the club had been struggling financially over the years to do its activities,” he explained. Sibanda added that while Shah’s assistance was not clearly defined, the understanding by members was that the club changes from a society so that it is run professionally.
