He also ordered Jomo Cosmos to issue a public apology within 24 hours of the ruling.

It’s not all doom and gloom for Jomo Cosmos fans.

Cosmos were relegated to the ABC Motsepe League this past season when they finished second from the bottom of the GladAfrica Championship log with 28 points.

Cosmos were relegated from the DStv Premiership in 2016 and never made it back to the top tier of South African football. They have been playing in the GladAfrica Championship ever since, until their relegation last season.
