Gamildien dedicates goal to AKA

The slain legendary rapper, AKA received another touching tribute following his murder last Friday.

Royal AM striker, Ruzaigh Gamildien was the latest prominent individual to commemorate the slain musician, whose real name is Kiernan Forbes.

During the Nedbank Cup Round of 32 match against Cape Town City on Saturday, the former Bafana Bafana player converted a spot kick during a penalty kick shootout.

In celebrating the goal and possibly the win itself, he lifted his match jersey to reveal an undershirt with the words 'RIP AKA' written there.

Eric Tinkler blasts 'poor' refereeing

Sports Brief also reported on alleged bad refereeing getting on the last nerve of Cape Town City coach, Eric Tinkler.

The manager was in a foul mood following the team's elimination in the Nedbank Cup's Round of 32 by Royal AM on penalties.

Tinkler furiously stated that bad officiating threatened the job security of players and coaches, saying there was only one winner.

"This is the harsh reality and the one who has to deal with it is me. I have to deal with it. Referees make mistakes - they don’t have to deal with anything. I have to deal with the repercussions."
