Stuart Baxter's compensation matter with Safa is unresolved | By Minenhlecr7
When Shakes Mashaba left the head coach job at the national team in 2017, Safa negotiated with SuperSport to release their coach to take over the reins at Bafana.
Baxter was contracted to Matsatsantsa at the time. There was an agreement that the national federation would compensate the Tshwane club for the British coach’s early release but the promise was never kept.SuperSport chief executive, Stan Matthews, confirmed that they are yet to receive compensation from Safa for having released Baxter early from his contract.
“Yes, I can confirm that we haven’t been compensated for Baxter but I can’t share more than that because of the respect that I have for Safa as the mother of our football,” Matthews stated. Baxter joined Bafana in 2017 and replaced Mashaba who had fallen out of favour with the bigwigs at Safa House. He became Safa’s target following his success with SuperSport and for having impressed previously with Kaizer Chiefs.When acting Safa chief executive, Tebogo Motlanthe, was asked about the Baxter saga, he answered: “There’s no one who knows where this Baxter thing comes from. I don’t have an invoice from SuperSport. When I owe, you must give me an invoice to say this is what you owe me.
