Highlands Park co-director Sinky Mnisi says he will fight to hold on to the club, following reports it has been sold to TS Galaxy owner Tim Sukazi.

Mnisi claims he has been undermined by his fellow directors at the Lions of the North, and that he will challenge the reported sale of the club.

"I’m not asking for impossible information. What I've requested will determine my next step. But I'm prepared for the challenge," Mnisi told City Press.

"I’ve toiled for this team for six years, only to be treated like this. Once I’ve satisfied myself that all those conditions have been met, I can’t allow the deal to go through.

"It makes me feel as if they didn't want me to own the club. If they want to buy me out because they think I’m the problematic one, they must come up with an offer that’s respectable and that I deserve, not try to cheat me.

"The solution is for them to swallow their pride and respect the fact that I’m a shareholder, minority or not, talk to me and cordial separation rather than a messy one, but they are making things difficult for themselves by undermining me."

"They started looking for buyers back in January and I have proof to that effect. And they should refrain from mentioning that I’m a minority shareholder. I'm also protected," he added.

"In a boxing ring, when there are two boxers there must be a knockout and winner. I don’t want to use my uppercuts. I’m still jabbing. If they don’t believe that, they’ll see it. This isn’t a threat."
