BFA chief executive officer, Mfolo Mfolo has written a letter to BFL CEO, Senzo Mbatha seeking the league's blessing to refer the matter to CAS. Mfolo said the BFA is left with no choice but to refer the matter to the CAS as the call by the shareholders to halt league matches is in violation of the BFA constitution. The BFA CEO said that they are forced to take the CAS route after a recent meeting to resolve the impasse failed to bear fruit. “In amplification of the foregoing, it is clear that further intervention is required to break the current impasse. In light of this, we suggest an independent adjudication body as recognized by our football prescripts to be tasked to resolve the matter and propose referring the matter to CAS. This avenue is recognized for its impartiality and expertise in handling complex sport related disputes,” Mfolo said.
Mfolo further proposed that in the event the BFL CEO and shareholders accede to the matter being put forward before CAS, all football activities shall return with immediate effect pending the outcome from CAS.
