Siyethemba Sithebe will not join Kaizer Chiefs before the transfer window closes on Monday night after last-ditch talks to force a move this month broke down.
So says attorney and intermediatory Sihlangu Sithebe, who is the player’s uncle, as he revealed to TimesLIVE that there has been discussions about pushing for a move on Monday, but these have deadlocked.
“Chiefs were offering two players in exchange for Siyethemba, but AmaZulu were only interested in a cash deal. Sihlangu Sithebe dismissed suggestions from AmaZulu owner Sandile Zungu that Chiefs had made an illegal approach for the attacking midfielder before they were allowed to open negotiations on January 1, when the 29-year-old entered the last six months of his contract. “That is not correct,” he says.
He said the Bafana Bafana midfielder is committed to finishing the season with Usuthu and will give 100% to the club — if allowed. Zungu has previously suggested the player will not kick a ball for the team in the second half of the season, but Sihlangu Sithebe says this may be in breach of contract and could lead to them opening a case with the SA Football Association.
