Bloemfontein Celtic, Baroka FC Nedbank Cup semi-final under threat

The chairman of ABC Motsepe League side BTM Sports Freddy Mapulane says they have “already prepared the documents to stop” next Saturday’s Nedbank Cup semi-final match between Bloemfontein Celtic and Baroka FC.

Mapulane claims that Celtic are illegally using their defender Aviwe Nyamende, for whom they did not issue a clearance to join the Free State side this season.

Nyamende has already played two matches for Celtic - the 1-1 Premier Soccer League (PSL) draw with Chippa United at home on January 19 and the Nedbank Cup Round of 32, 4-1 victory over AmaZulu on February 8.
