Stellenbosch FC head coach Gavin Hunt has said defender Olisa Ndah has yet to receive his work permit more than one month after applying.
Ndah linked up with Stellenbosch on a free transfer in January after leaving Orlando Pirates.
The Nigeria international spent four and a half seasons at Pirates , starting 73 matches.
The centre-back had been expected to make his debut last month already with some clubs in the Premier Soccer League able to secure work permits for foreigners after only a week.

“I’d love to get into the team, but some people get work permits much quicker than other people,” Hunt was quoted by Supersport.com.
Ndah, despite playing for Pirates last, needs a new work permit because of a change of employers.
“I mean, it’s just a change of employee. So it should be something quick, isn’t it? If you compare big leagues around the world, if a foreign player comes in they all get the work permit gets done through a particular person for all the clubs.
“So I think that should happen, but it’s never happened like that. So it’s a bit disappointing because he’s been in close to a month, and he should have played by now.”
