FIFA lift transfer ban imposed on Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila

Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila [TTM] will be breathing a sigh of relief as FIFA have lifted the transfer ban imposed on them.

As FARPost reported on Wednesday, the PSL club made the R 600 000 payment owed to former goalkeeper Edmore Sibanda.

Sibanda was the reason the club received the ban after they failed to compensate him for a breach of contract.

The Limpopo-based side, competing in the Motsepe Foundation Championship had received three consecutive transfer window bans effective from the current season.

TTM chairman Masala Mulaudzi told this publication earlier this week that having the ban uplifted was their main priority.

“The ban is something that we are prioritising to uplift it. We are working on it day and night. Our target was to have the ban uplifted last week because it’s long overdue,” he said.

In a communique sent out to both parties on Thursday, FIFA has cleared TTM to register new players.
