His manager, Bulawayo businessman Omega Sibanda, confirmed that they would return to the courts tomorrow.
If the order is granted, the stage will be set for the Messenger of court to attach some Highlanders property if the club does not have cash.

“We are going back on Friday to the Labour Court for a final order and naturally that might lead to Fathi attaching some property, if the order is granted,” said Sibanda.
He alleged that it was unfortunate that a few individuals within the Bosso executive were pushing their selfish interests against Fathi.
He also confirmed that Highlanders owed the Egyptian about US$32 000, not US$15 100.

According to Fathi’s contract, Bosso agreed to pay him US$10 000 as signing on fees in two parts, the first  US$5 000 was supposed to be and was duly paid on 1 January 2010 with the remainder coming in on 1 July 2010, but it was not paid.

The club also allegedly agreed that Fathi would get US$200 as winning bonus and for four months Highlanders failed to honour their pledge, leaving a debt of US$800.
The contract also says a gratuity of 25 percent per month shall be paid until the expiry of his contract. That gratuity was calculated based on his contract signed on 1 September 2009 until 30 September 2010, the day of his resignation.

But the club argues that the issue of gratuity falls away because the contract did not go its full length up to the end of the year.
That figure, according to Fathi, adds up to US$11 650 and the team is yet to pay him.
He is also entitled to 10 percent of the prize money if the club reaches any cup final or lifts the coveted league title, if the club finishes as runners up in any tournament, he gets eight percent of prize money.
