Motlanthe: Why Mosimane abusers might avoid Safa punishment

The incident occurred before the Brazilians and Al Ahly faced off in a continental knockout tie at the Lucas Moripe Stadium

Safa CEO Tebogo Motlanthe has explained why they might not take action against Pitso Mosimane’s abusers.

Some Mamelodi Sundowns fans, who carried placards with profanities, hurled insults at the veteran South African tactician who was leading his team to the Lucas Moripe Stadium for a Caf Champions League quarter-final encounter on Saturday.

“Remember in terms of South African law‚ you don’t want to also bring the subject of double jeopardy. If Sundowns are to act tomorrow and take action against them [the wrongdoers] to say‚ ‘Safa‚ this is the action we have taken’‚ then Safa’s hands are tied,” Motlanthe said as was quoted by Sowetan Live.
