Highlanders lose bid to reclaim attached property

From http://www.newzimbabwe.com/

A BULAWAYO judge on Thursday dismissed with costs an urgent chamber application filed by Highlanders Football Club seeking an interim order that the Deputy Sheriff, Bulawayo, returns all attached property belonging to the club.

Dismissing the application in which Mohammed Fathi is the first respondent and the Deputy Sheriff, the second, Justice Maphios Cheda said there was no urgency in the matter. He said Highlanders had not exhausted all the local remedies as the Labour Court could have dealt with their case.

 

He said the club should pay the former mentor his dues. Highlanders wanted an order granted by Labour Court president, Mercy Moya-Matshanga on 31 January this year, to be suspended pending the determination of the review which the club is seeking and the application for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court.

The Deputy Sheriff has attached and removed a number of movable properties from the Club House that include the team bus, computers, television sets and soccer balls among others. The property has to be sold to raise money to pay Fathi his dues. In her ruling Moya-Matshanga ordered Highlanders, who were respondents in the Labour Court case, to pay Fathi US$4,000 in arrear salaries.

They were further ordered to pay him the sum of US$11,625 as gratuity that has accrued to him. The club is to pay the costs of the suit. Fathi through his lawyers Calderwood, Bryce Hendrie and Partners later registered the final order with the High Court, which enabled him to attach the club’s property.

Odiel Nkomo, the club treasurer in his founding affidavit filed by his lawyer, Zibusiso Charles Ncube, of Phulu and Ncube argued that the order which was granted by the Labour Court and was finally registered with the High Court is ill conceived and was obtained in “what one may say were fraudulent circumstances” without the observance of the audi alteram partem rule as they were never heard before its granting.
Nkomo notes that Fathi, after registering the order with the High Court, went on to issue a writ of execution against the club’s property.

“The 2nd respondent has attached and removed the property of the applicant and may dispose of it at any time. “The order obtained by 1st respondent was irregularly granted and to allow execution of the order is an affront to common sense and all the tenets of justice,” wrote Nkomo.

He added that Fathi is bent on fully executing the order and that the club has no other remedy other than approach the High Court for relief on an urgent basis as it is on the verge of facing irreparable harm and prejudice.

He notes that the property attached and removed has not yet been disposed.

The club’s lawyer, Ncube said they would soon be engaging in talks with Ndabezinhle Mazibuko from the law firm representing Fathi to try “to agree on a payment plan that will stop the disposal of the attached property”.

Fathi Finally Bids Farewell To Highlanders FC.

While the Bosso family were unhappy with the Egyptian mentor, Fathi was also unhappy with the material and resources at his disposal. 

Fathi is said to have expressed an issue of salary payment defection by the club as the main reason. Like predecessor Madinda Ndlovu, it is believed to be owed thousands of dollars in salary arrears. However, the clear message from the ground is that, while the Executive Committee expected results from Fathi, the players are not near championship quality. They are demotivated by nonpayment of salaries and winning bonuses as has been evidenced by the now familiar industrial actions. 

There is yet another school of thought that the players have the potential and that there may be issues within the team that the public is unaware of. One source close to the team has question the possibility of a coach serving notice and even then, the club does not bother to line-up his replacement. Mkhuphali Masuku, his assistant, is likely to take charge of the rocked boat. 

Masuku will have to deal with the same hungry players to produce the results. It still remains to be seen if any improvements in terms of player welfare and acquisition will be possible. This question of a possible operation in a vacuum will scare any potential candidates to take the job full-time. Coaches who are worth their salt have to be paid, and well. A salary of $5000,00 is very average and with no fans going to watch home matches and no sponsorship for both the league and the team, that may be gold for Bosso to find. 

Mkhuphali or the new coach has to deal with Dynamos again in less that 4 weeks in the final of the ZAOGA Jubilee Celebrations Cup. The match was likely to be played at the now banned BF. It is a tall order for anyone to play a well oiled Dembare that blasted reigning league champions 4-1. 

So whoever comes must expect more or less to be paid haphazardly and be grateful for whatever comes. Fans will have to expect the result to trickle in the same way and stop the nonsensical violent behaviour at the stadia. The alternative is a fly by night coach who will walk in to work for peanuts and ride some luck to win all the remaining matches and the team wins the championship. This will attract the people to the stadium and the gate-takings will boost the coffers for a team to hire another dear expatriate coach. 

It is not that there is anything wrong with foreign coaches. I like them, especially Africans. If they were bad, the national teams would have stopped recruiting them. They are fashionable and are cool, especially when they speak English with a heavy accent. It keeps players listening to the funny parts of the words. Usually players do not get the message or instructions. 

Black Mambas Director of Coaching, Madinda Ndlovu is a disappointed man with these developments. His worry is the way coaches do not get things to work with and end up taking the walk. Ndlovu feels the sacrifice the coaches take should be taken into account and all the help and support must be afforded them to work more professionally. Asked about the players, he was adamant the junior football structures must be revisited and player development start in earnest. 

Ndlovu, now also national assistant coach of Zimbabwe Warriors, Tom Saintfeit, mourned the loss of proper structures nationally but was particular about the material Bosso should be creating for themselves as was the case yesteryear. What do you think Bosso need now and who should be appointed coach?

Violence Highlights of Highlanders vs Dynamos Match.

This is the beginning of all trouble. I will endeavour to bring you further developments on that il-fated day. By the time you read this, Highlanders Bosso may be looking for a coach. Fathi indicated verbally or otherwise, that he may quit. This is according to The Chronicle of Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. If you look at the match Highlights of the last match against Dynamos, it was pathetic finishing by Bosso that actually looked amateurish that I can see as The Coach. It was just a few seconds of play. You may know better than I do.

Egyptian coach, Mohammed Fathi has been with us for a while now, and as he cleans house, let us sit and take stock. If our beloved friend actually leaves, what will you remember him for and what do you think was his contribution to the success of the club and who do you think must succeed him? Look forward for more footage of these highlights. Your visit here is appreciated and if all your friends share the same interests, please share this.  Hoping to bring fresher and relevent post for you.
