SAFA national does not recognise the two arbitration processes that determined the Buffalo City SAB Regional League 2014-15 champions, it was established today.
As a result, Safa CEO Dennis Mumble has ordered an investigation that should establish who was the mastermind behind the controversial “two processes, termed as arbitration's” involving warring football clubs, Parkside Sporting and Future Tigers.
In a letter seen by the Saturday Dispatch yesterday, Mumble revealed that both processes that took place on June 30 and July 3 were flawed and “unprocedural”.
The Safa-BC champions had to be decided through arbitration after a series of boardroom squabbles between the two protagonists.
The first hearing on June 30, saw Parkside Sporting leapfrog Tigers and crowned champions.
But, just two days later the decision was reversed by another arbitration which went Tigers’ way.
However, Mumble has since rubbished the processes, saying it was unprocedural and not sanctioned by him as per Safa’s Disciplinary Code and therefore does not hold.
