FootballRoyal Am Lose Case, Disciplinary Committee Finds Club Guilty on All Charges
- Royal AM have been found guilty on all charges relating to their failure to honour promotion-relegation playoff matches for the PSL
- The sentence has not been handed down yet after a disciplinary committee hearing found the club guilty
- The club had thought that a previous interdict was in force and had refused to play the matches, the PSL thought otherwise
Royal AM has been found guilty by a disciplinary committee on all charges relating to their failure to honour four promotion-relegation playoff matches for the PSL.
The ruling was handed down on Wednesday night but the sentences were not revealed for the guilty charges.
The committee hearing dated back to 19 May when Sekhukhune United was awarded three points that Royal AM disputed according to TimesLIVE.
This cost Royal AM their spot on top of the log and have since taken their fight for the GladAfrica Championship off the field and into the courtroom. Royal AM attempted to have themselves reinstated as champions through legal means.
Reality star Shauwn Mkhize owns Royal AM and the team boycotted their games in protest. The club believed that an earlier interdict was still in place against the playoffs but the PSL believed that the interdict fell away once the case was dismissed at the high court according to the Daily Maverick.
