| Bantu face stiff punishment for the actions of their fans |
Vodacom Premier
League outfit Bantu have condemned the behaviour of their supporters after
violence aimed at referee Osias Koto after the side’s 1-0 league defeat to
Kick4Life last Saturday.
The match was
played at the LCS Stadium.
Bantu fans
also attacked match assessor Moeketsi Moholobela after he tried to protect
Koto.
Bantu
communications and marketing manager Motlatsi Mofokeng called the actions of
the club’s fans deplorable and vowed the team would take action.
“We are going
to take all the necessary steps against anyone involved in that incident,”
Mofokeng said.
He also added:
“We strongly condemn such acts and we would like to apologise to the sponsors
and the nation.”
A Matšo Matebele possibly
face a heavy fine and a ban of the club’s fans. The Premier League Management Committee
is set to convene on Tuesday to discuss Bantu’s case.
Staying the
Vodacom Premier League, and Bantu, Saturday's highly anticipated clash between
Matlama and Bantu that was set for the Setsoto Stadium has been postponed
because of a church service that will be held at the stadium all weekend. The league
has said it will announce a new date for the fixture at a later date.
