Why Safa chief thinks Kaizer Chiefs' transfer ban appeal at CAS is dragging on

Acting Safa CEO Tebogo Motlanthe says the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) could be taking long to make a ruling on Kaizer Chiefs' transfer ban appeal because the parties involved are from different countries.

Amakhosi were in February 2020 slapped with sanctions by world governing body Fifa, forbidding them from participating in the transfer market for two registration periods after being found guilty of a transfer offence.

This emanated from the 2018 illegal acquisition and registering of Andriamirado ‘Dax’ Andrianarimanana from Madagascan club Fosa Juniors.
