OrlandoPirates say they took their own internal disciplinary measures against Thembinkosi Lorch when they became aware of charges of assault by the midfielder against an ex-girlfriend in 2020.
“Lorch also informed the club he had instructed attorneys to assist him with the criminal charges against him, and they intended to approach the director of public prosecutions to make representations regarding the charges so he could go through a diversion programme.
“He further advised he was attending therapy with Dr Nomsa Nkuna-Boikanyo as part of his rehabilitation. The club approved that he complete the therapy instead of running a parallel process organised by the club. “Lorch informed us he attended the anger management therapy and completed the prescribed number of sessions. Since then, Lorch has not been involved any similar incident or an incident involving violence. We are confident the anger management therapy was an appropriate corrective measure.
“However, Lorch’s representations to the DPP were not successful and the criminal proceedings continued.“Orlando Pirates will not make any further comment until this process is complete.” The National Prosecuting Authority said Lorch was found guilty on Tuesday of a charge of assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm against then girlfriend Fundishwa Nokuphiwa Mathithibala on September 7 2020.
