Mamelodi Sundowns has been accused of plagiarism.

A content creator by the name of Thabiso Motloung (@Iyzo8) went on Twitter to make these allegations against the club, stating that it had ripped him off of a podcast idea he had pitched to the club.

Motloung tweeted:

"It's been over a month now since I posted this "cryptic" tweet & a lot has happened & not happened since then. I have kept quiet to protect the image of the club I've been in love with since I was 10 years old but my hand is being forced now. THREAD"

This post was a retweet of him initially hinting that the club had plagiarised his 'Pitch Side With Sundowns' pitch, with the club's one called The Pitchside Podcast'.

The initial tweet by Motloung, a Sundowns supporter, read:

"Interesting concept and name you have there. I wonder who might have sent you a proposal with a very similar concept and name. It is what it is I guess. @Masandawana"

Sundowns responded to Motloung by tweeting in turn:

"Dear Thabiso. The Club is surprised & shocked by your public accusations. We want to understand where these allegations come from. We’d like to give you the opportunity to share your full proposal on the next episode of The Pitchside Podcast. We look forward to your response."

Elsewhere, Sports Brief established that the Brazilians of South Africa are a desired destination for South Americans, but this is not entirely approved across the Atlantic Ocean.

The Football Federation of Chile was not happy with the standard of the Premier Soccer League, according to reports. This led to the organisation believing that the Chilean maestro Marcelo Allende must leave the club and develop his potential and talent in a league of a higher standard.
