“Elasto (Kapowezha), the team manager is in charge and communicates with players and never with me. I know nothing about all the decisions taken from 27 December.

“The last time I heard from the front office was when Mr. Sipho Xulu communicated with me on 12 January that he was instructed to postpone the pre-season resumption that was scheduled for 15 January.

“It’s 15 days past that date and I never got any communication as promised and that’s why I was not at training.

“I can’t answer your question but Elasto Kapowezha and the chairman are best positioned to answer.”
