Black Leopards have parted ways with one of their veteran players and kingpin, Christopher “Matari” Netshidzivhe (29), after he was served with free transfer letter by the team´s managing director, Mr David Thidiela. This drastic move is seen by several observers as a disciplinary measure after Netshidzivhe allegedly took a friend´s car last year and smashed it. It was rumoured that the star soccer player was not sober when the incident took place. Another dent to his disciplinary record was that he had disappeared with a friend´s Toyota Venture, only to return it to the owner after several days. Netshidzivhe signed a one-year contract with the option to renew it with the club last year. He served the team with distinction for more than a decade and his experience in the team was vital in the past seasons when the team was participating in the Premier Soccer League. In an exclusive interview with Mirror, Netshidzivhe said that he was no longer interested in playing for Leopards, but he was yet to be paid his last month´s salary and the remaining money of his contract. "I contacted the team boss, David Thidiela, enquring about my remaining salary, and he told me not to call him ever again and he hung up phone," he said. Asked about his future since he was dumped by his team, Netshidzivhe said: “It would be premature to comment about my next destination as it now the off-season, but I will be looking for a new team." Leopards´ spokesperson, Fulufhelo Thidiela, has confirmed Netshidzivhe´s departure. "Yes, I can confirm to you that we have indeed parted ways with Christopher and there is no bad blood between us and him." When asked why they had let him go and what about the salary dispute, Thidiela said that Netshishivhe´s form had dropped and the team realised that it was time to let him go. "We cannot pay him the remaining salary since he is no longer working for us. There are many things that I cannot say to the media about the player, because that will jeopardise his career" Mirror learned on good authority that the management accused Netshidzivhe of fixing a match during the promotional play-offs.
