Ndlovu’s agent first wrote a letter to the club, explaining that his client had yet to put pen to paper on a contract with MaMkhize’s side, even though he was unveiled as a new player. Ndlovu’s agent claimed that he was still a Swallows FC as a result.

Thobejane, though has explained that Swallows and Royal AM entered into a sale agreement, and therefore Ndlovu’s contract with the Dube Birds were now transferred to the KwaZulu-Natal club. He also added that Swallows had signed a clearance, meaning the player was no longer one of the club’s players.

Ndlovu has not reported to training since, and Thobejane confirmed that this was a violation of his contract.
