Legal proceedings were initiated after Mathoho failed to satisfy the outstanding debt, leading to a court order authorising enforcement action.
According to sources, the sheriff has been unable to locate the ex-Amakhosi defender to execute the order, raising the prospect of his property being attached and auctioned to recover the funds.
Mathoho, 35, enjoyed a long career with Kaizer Chiefs featuring in over 200 matches and representing South Africa’s senior team, Bafana Bafana before leaving the club in 2023.
This latest development adds to a series of financial challenges reportedly faced by the former centre-back, with past media coverage highlighting separate issues relating to loan agreements and asset forfeiture proceedings.
Efforts to reach Mathoho for comment were unsuccessful at the time of publication.
