Before his death Khumalo and Mzangwa were joint directors of Warriors, with the former owning 80 percent of the shares of the club.
However, according to the Khumalo family, Mzangwa has assumed full responsibility of the Free State-based club without consulting them.
Bafana Khumalo, who is representing the Khumalo family, has confirmed with snl24.com/kickoff that the matter is now heading to court.
“Initially there were four directors and two resigned. Mr Khumalo owned 80 percent shares whilst Mzangwa only owned 20 percent.
“There is lot that has gone behind the scenes, including signatures that have to do with the bank, which was done by Mzangwa without consulting both the Khumalo family and relevant people in running the club.
“As the matter stands, it should go to court very soon,” Khumalo says.
However, in an email sent to snl24.com/kickoff Mzangwa insists it was his duty to take full control of the club after Jabu Khumalo passed away.
“As the sole director of the African Warriors Football Club (Pty) Ltd, which as the name suggests is a private company, I have directors’ duties, which include both a fiduciary [legal or ethical relationship of trust] duty, and a duty of reasonable care, which operate in addition to existing common law duties.
“In view of the above, I am executing what is expected of me as the sole director at this point in time.”
Mzangwa adds that he has retained coach Thami Ngubane and the bulk of players that did duty for the club last season.
“Thami Ngubani remains our head coach. This is about continuity,” he says.
