Safa, Pitso Mosimane wait for CCMA ruling

The labour dispute between Safa and former Bafana Bafana coach Pitso Mosimane will now be decided by the CCMA after talks between lawyers representing the two parties reached a deadlock. 

Mosimane is claiming R10million from Safa for an unfair dismissal after the country’s football governing body terminated his contract following a string of poor results that have negatively affected Bafana’s chances of qualifying for the 2014 World Cup.

But Safa, who was paying Mosimane a monthly salary of R800 000, is offering to pay half of what the former coach is demanding. The CCMA will now deliver its ruling on the matter after the disputing parties admitted they are failing to find common ground.

“We will wait for the CCMA to pass a ruling on the matter,” Safa’s head of legal department, Nathi Ngcobo, tells KickOff.com.

“They will make their decision known to both parties so we will have to wait for the process to run its full course. There is nothing more I can say on the matter.”

Mosimane tells KickOff.com that he is also waiting for the CCMA’s ruling.

“I do not know when the matter will be decided. I am also waiting. At the moment I am focusing all my spare time on teaching former players who plan to become coaches,” he adds.

Mosimane was given the boot by Safa in June after Bafana drew with minnows Ethiopia in Rustenburg three months ago. He has since being replaced by Gordon Igesund.

Good Luck coach. Contracts are signed for a reason, but most soccer fans are not educated to understand that coz they still get paid by an envelop on fridays. It helps to go to school, before you comment nonsense in kickoff make sure you do your home work first.

whether you demand that money or not the point is that you are mediocrity. you deserve to coach black leopards or vasco da gama, just stop being gready & start attending training to minimise that huge stamach of yours.

...Only after 2 games but Gordon has exposed you for a true empty vessel that you trully are

For the damage you did to Bafana you are suppose to be ashamed of asking for more money from SAFA

lets face facts not opinions here.SAFA should have paid him what was on the contract.EG if they say he earns R800 000.00 per month and he was left with 36 months to finish the contract they were supposed to pay Him R28 800 000.00M.if they dont pay him that he have every right to go to CCMA.

You dismiss me you payout me.Imagine you worked for company for 5 yrs now they dismiss you without a cent how were you going to feel same like Pitso ne,and people were going to say you are greedy.


There are process and proceedure in every company if not followed you can sue the company like Pitso is doing.SAFA please give that man what you owe him

heheheeee,, R10m huh?...only in SA where someone loses their job and they celebrate screaming: "I have won the lottery!!"

Whoever drafts these contracts for these coaches needs to do a short course in Advanced Law of Contracts....*just saying*
