Dynamos sponsors, NetOne on Sunday morning said they paid Dynamos forward Christian Epoupa Ntouba a gross total of $18,125.00 this year.
This is contrary to reports from Ntouba’s camp claiming that Dynamos is yet to settle the player’s signing on fees in full.
NetOne CEO, Lazarus Muchenje faced the media on the occassion to give the sponsors’ side of the story.
“…in the recent past, the media has been awash with stories surrounding the strained relationship between Dynamos and its foreign player- Christian Ntouba Joel Epoupa; and have read with anguish the various versions of the story. Whilst, this matter is purely what we would like to believe, a misunderstanding between Dynamos and Epoupa, the prolonged stand-off between the two parties has become a cause of concern for our brand. To this end, we went over and above our contractual obligations and called for an all stakeholders meeting with Dynamos and Epoupa’s manager, on Friday evening to seek clarity on the matter with a view of assisting both parties to find an amicable resolution that is mutually beneficial to all brands.
To this end, we wish to put on record and categorically state that NetOne is not in any financial breach in terms of its sponsorship agreement with Dynamos and has processed all Epoupa’s allowances and Sign On fees as per the schedules submitted to us by Dynamos. To date NetOne and Dynamos have paid a gross total of $18,125.00 to Epoupa this year…,” he said. – Gemazo Magazine
