A week after FIFA ordered Yadah FC, owned by self proclaimed prophet, Walter Magaya, to pay three Brazilian players a total of US$82 000 for breaching their contract, the team may find itself in hot water once again.
Junior Zindoga, a local player, has threatened to take the team to FIFA if they do not pay him his unpaid bonuses, sign-on fees, and part of his monthly salary.
The former Maritzburg United player broke two metacarpals during Yadah’s opening game against Hwange in March.
The striker was then flown to South Africa where he underwent surgery.
However, it has emerged that Yadah did not foot his medical expenses, as they allegedly neglected the player whom they owe several months’ salaries and sign-on fees.
This resulted in Zindoga terminating his contract with the club, proceeding to and notified it through Footballers Union of Zimbabwe (FUZ).
“We refer to the previous notice of 17 May 2024 (attached), by means of which we requested that you remedy several contractual breaches.
“Unfortunately, we note that the notice remained unanswered, and no remedy was provided.
“Since the club failed to honour its contractual obligation of paying Mr Junior Zindoga his salaries, winning bonuses, housing allowances, medical bills and his signing-on fee even after having notified the club of its breaches.
“We hereby wish to notify you that by means of this letter Mr. Junior Zindoga has terminated the employment contract with Yadah Football Club with immediate effect with just cause.
“He reserves his right to file a claim against your Club in front of the ZIFA or FIFA National Dispute Resolution Chamber (NDRC) or any other relevant legal tribunal,” reads the letter written by FUZ to Yadah,” reads the letter from FUZ.
