Farook Kadodia, the chairman of Durban City FC, has discussed the challenges he has faced following the club's successes in the Motsepe Foundation Championship.
Although Durban City won their case against Cape Town Spurs and JDR Stars, Kadodia still awaits a response from the PSL.

On Monday, SAFA, through an arbitration process, cleared the KZN outfit of any wrongdoing regarding the registration of influential winger Saziso Magawana.
Kadodia, an experienced football administrator, emphasised that he never panicked during this ordeal because he was confident on the club’s position.
“At the moment, I am relieved that we won the award yesterday. Now, what’s left is for the PSL to issue a statement and rectify any necessary matters. I haven’t heard from the PSL yet since receiving the award,” Kadodia confirms to KickOff.com.
“There was never any concern on our part about the player being incorrectly registered. He continued to play in all the games, regardless of what people said, because we knew we had the proper clearance.
"How can individuals come forward after games 27 and 30 to lodge claims of wrongful action? It was clear to us that those people do not want to resolve issues on the field. They prefer to fight in the boardroom. But we were very confident,” he went on.

Asked about plans for next season, Kadodia replied, “We just won the award yesterday, and now we need to sort out the players, many of whom are going home. We will probably reveal our intentions when we report for pre-season.
“We're coming back towards the end of June.”
