At the end of last season, Ajax Cape Town were in a similar predicament, in a case they eventually lost in the high court.
Even if high-flying Mamelodi Sundowns successfully defend their league title this season, they are at risk of forfeiting it immediately. The Premier Soccer League is expected to announce sanctions against the club at the end of the season — less than four games away.
This means that if the sanction, typically a points deduction, is issued at the end of the season, it will be too late for the Brazilians to make up the points, and the team in second place will automatically lift the trophy.“I don’t know whether they are going to take a point because we drew [against Wits] or give Wits three points in a match they didn’t win. A verdict will probably arrive two matches before the league finishes, so it’s a reality,” said Mosimane.
Khoza insists delays are not always the league’s fault. “In some cases, clubs ask for postponements. The clubs get further legal minds and they want certain particulars. Every club has a right to be given an opportunity when they ask for postponement. All postponements are discussed and are agreed afterwards with the prosecutor,” he explained.
