THE South African Football Players Union (SAFPU) has issued a scathing rebuke of Siwelele FC amid a tumultuous period for the newly-promoted Betway Premiership side.

Recent upheavals, including the dismissal of CEO Stan Matthews and assistant coach Andre Arendse, have sparked significant concerns regarding the club’s governance, particularly in relation to player welfare and contractual obligations.

Since acquiring topflight status after businessman Calvin Le John purchased SuperSport United at the end of the previous season, Siwelele FC has encountered a dismal start to the 2025/26 campaign. With only one victory, one draw and five losses from seven matches played, the club has struggled to forge a winning formula, leaving both fans and players wary of the direction in which the leadership is steering the club.
