Cape Town City may have landed themselves in hot water over comments criticising the PSL’s decision to ban midfielder Mpho Makola for six months.
Makola received the hefty suspension for pushing referee Abongile Tom in the Telkom Knockout defeat to Kaizer Chiefs.
And City were less than impressed with the decision and slammed the disciplinary process conducted by prosecutor Nande Becker.
“Mpho was taken advantage of,” read a statement on City’s official website.
“It got to the point where the hearing had to be stopped completely so that a level of humanity and sanity could be expressed to the league’s prosecutor Nande Becker in relation to his treatment towards Mpho, which was as aggressive as it was unnecessary to the technical proceedings.”
But the Cape Town-based club may just have dug themselves a hole with those comments with the PSL poised to react punitively.
“The comments made by Cape Town City are under consideration for possible further action by the League,” Becker told KickOff.
“The matter has been re-enrolled for argument in respect of an appropriate sanction against the club. This hearing will take place on 26 November.”
City chairman John Comitis could not be reached for comment.
