“Indlela abasibikele ngayo inobu-amesha noma indelelo. Siqale ngokuthola i-email ivela kunobhala weqembu isazisa ukuthi uMothiba ngeke afike ekhempini ngoba unenkinga. Lokhu kulandelwe ukuthi kufike omunye umyalezo usuvela kudokotela weStrasbourg usazisa ngokuthi uzoyohlolisiswa kahle bese beyasiphendula. Kudlule amahora ambalwa kwangena enye i-email isisitshela ukuthi uMothiba udonseke umsipha ngakhoke uzohlala izinsuku eziyishumi kuya kweziwu-15 engadlali,” kusho kaBaxter ebuzwa yiSolezwe ngalolu daba.

Zizobe zingakapheli izinsuku ezishiwo yiStrasbourg ukuthi zizodingeka ukuze lo mgadli alulame ngokugcwele. UMthetho weFifa uyawaphoqa amaqembu ukuba abadedele abadlali uma imidlalo isekhalendeni layo. Lokhu kuwabopha amaqembu ngisho umdlali elimele kwazise kufanele aye eqenjini lakhe lesizwe nalo limhlole bese kuba yima kuthathwa isinqumo. “Ngizonquma maduze ukuthi yisiphi isinyathelo engisithathayo ngalokhu.
