Ghanaian defender Edwin Gyimah has moved swiftly to rubbish what he says are blatant lies by his former agent to tarnish his reputation. In a post on X on Tuesday, his former agent, Ratshibvumo Mulovhedzi posted how he was concerned about Gyimah’s anger problems.
Mulovhedzi also alleged that the 33-year-old made a U-turn on joining Betway Premiership side Magesi FC. In the same post, Mulovhedzi wrote about how the former Orlando Pirates player turned down an R100,000 per month offer.
Gyimah, who expressed hurt over the allegations, has denied Mulovhedzi’s version of events. He requested the football agent stop tarnishing his name to the public as it affects him and his family.
HURT EDWIN GYIMAH HAS RUBBISHED WHAT HE SAYS ARE LIES ABOUT HIM
“He is making it look like I was the wrong one. I was willing to play for Magesi. I was in Ghana when he contacted me on 13 January. He told me that Magesi wanted to give me a six-month contract,” Gyimah explained to FARPost.
Gyimah has explained that the reason he refused to sign a contract was because there was no signature from Magesi and rubbished the R100,000 claims.
“When he sent me the contract, I was lucky enough to forward it to my wife because he quickly deleted it from his side. There was no signature from Magesi; my name was not in the contract, there was no signature from anyone, the CEO or club official or the date that I needed to start working. There was nothing on the contract and I explained to him.
“But he wanted me to sign it either way, but I said no, the team has to sign before I can sign. What if I sign, and when I get there, things change from their side? So that is what I was told, and this is the whole thing that went on. But he is saying a lot of things. I have the contract with me here. It’s empty. But now he is angry with me and says I am refusing and saying a lot of things about me,” added Gyimah.

“Only he knows [why he posted the allegations.] Since I left Sekhukhune United, I have been in Ghana. I don’t know why, when I refuse to sign a contract, he would come up with all these. He talks about Magesi offering me R100,000. He is lying; it’s way less than that. But I was willing to play for them. It’s way less. The only problem is that he didn’t present a contract that I could have signed.”
“One thing I want to tell him is that he was the one who helped me with the Black Leopards deal. Apart from that deal, he has never been my agent. But he is always out there making it look like he has been getting deals for me. I want him to stop. He is not my agent anymore. For him to be using my name, maybe he wants to trend. But for him to add my name to whatever he is doing. I am not fighting him. Can he please stop?”
