Protests against Durban City dismissed, KZN team officially promoted
Durban City are finally the official champions of the Motsepe Foundation Championship (MFC) and promoted to the Betway Premiership after an arbitration dismissed two cases against the Durban team. City clinched the MFC with their 2-0 win against Cape Town Spurs at Athlone Stadium on May 18. That result also condemned Spurs — the club formerly known as Ajax Cape Town, who were relegated form the Premiership in 2023-24 — to relegation from the MFC. However, the trophy and prize money were not presented to City — formerly Maritzburg United, who relocated to Durban and renamed ahead of the 2024-25 season. That was because there was a case pending by seventh-placed finishers JDR Stars over the proper registration and eligibility of City winger Saziso Magawana by the KwaZulu-Natal team. That case was dismissed by the Premier Soccer League's (PSL) disciplinary committee (DC) on May 20, however PSL prosecutor Zola Majavu revealed a further case was brought to the DC by Spurs.

Durban City to be crown NFD champions after case against them is dismissed by Safa arbitration
Durban City can seemingly start celebrating their promotion to the Betway Premiership, if reports on Monday are to be believed. Photo: Backpagepix Durban City can start preparing for life in top-flight football next season after a case against the club was officially dismissed by arbitrator Hilton Epstein SC on Monday. City finished top of the Motsepe Foundation Championship this season, but their official coronation and promotion were halted by the PSL. This came after JDR Stars lodged a case against City for fielding Sazi Magawana, who was alleged not to have been appropriately registered by the club before the start of the season. Cape Town Spurs followed suit, playing their final match of the campaign — against City at home — under protest after Magawana was named in the starting line-up. Stars and Spurs lodged their complaints as a last-ditch attempt to either gain promotion or retain their National First Division status, respectively.
