The player's transfer fee is capped at P500, but Sibanda wants more. When players are released from clubs, they are supposed to follow BVF play rules and regulations. “When a club signs a player from another, they should pay P500, of which P100 goes to BVF as administration fee. Sibanda is now coming up with his own rules. He wants us to pay more for the players from Yaros.
He is holding us at ransom,” a source said. Some of the players are said to have a contract with Yaros. It is said there is a Yaros player keen on joining Spiking Stars, but the move is complicated by the contract he signed. “The matter was reported to the BVF and Yaros was given 14 days, which lapsed yesterday to have released the player. Players do not have copies of contracts but he claims to have extended them,” the source further said. Speaking to Mmegi Sport, Sibanda said he runs an academy not a society like other clubs. “I invest in this business and I submit annual returns at the Registrar of Societies. I train these players and make them believe that they can earn a living from volleyball. I start working on my players at senior secondary school until they complete tertiary level. They are now national team players.
