Ajax Cape Town confirmed that several players have been released from the club with immediate effect.

Among the players released are Rescue Peterson,Juniad Sait,Justin Jacobs contract will be terminated by mutual consent while Siboniso Gaxa contract will not be renewed.

Regarding their decision the club Chief Executive Officer Ari Efstathiou  explained circumstances that led to their decision

“these players have contracts with the club but they didn’t enjoy sufficient game time during last season”

“As a club we felt it will be in in their best interest as well as ours for them to pursue their careers elsewhere we will be making announcement in due course with regards the new players that we will welcome into the Ajax Cape Town family”he added.

Few days ago Ajax Cape town got reprieve when the Western Cape High Court has ruled in favour of Ajax Cape Town regarding the Zimbabwean striker Tendai Ndoro eligibility matter.

Ajax were relegated to the National First Division because they fielded Ndoro in three league matches. The club then asked the High Court to set aside that decision.

Ajax Cape Town will play in the Premier Soccer League again next season after their bid to set aside the ruling for arbiter Advocate William Mokhari was successful on Monday.
