Safa strip Mpheni of Motsepe League national playoffs spot
Safa Limpopo have stripped Mpheni Home Defenders of the ABC Motsepe League national playoffs spot for fielding ineligible players.
Mpheni were crowned Limpopo ABC Motsepe League champions after defeating Magesi FC 1-0 in the provincial playoffs at Giyani Stadium earlier this month.
In a turn of events, Magesi went on to lodge a complaint which was heard before Safa Limpopo Disciplinary Committee last Tuesday, FARPost has been reliably informed.
The verdict’s outcome ruled in favour of Magesi, who will now represent Limpopo at the national playoffs scheduled to take place in North West next month.
The players in question are former Black Leopards midfielder Selby Rapatsa and Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila (TTM) midfielder Lfentswe Munyadziwa. It remains unclear if Home Defenders will appeal the latest decision.
