Dynamos guilty of registering player improperly

One of the Limpopo-based National First Division League clubs, Dynamos, were found guilty on a charge of improperly registering a player by the league's disciplinary committee, during its meeting which was held at the league's offices last Friday evening.

According to the league's prosecutor, Mr Zola Majavu, the Pride of Giyani were found guilty of registering Patrick Mesu improperly. Majavu revealed that Dynamos were given until this Tuesday, May 19 at 17:00, to submit their written mitigating factors in order to allow the committee to determine an appropriate sanction. According to Majavu, sentencing will be handed down during a meeting which is scheduled for this afternoon (Friday, May 19) at the same venue, starting at 17:00.

In another matter which was also heard last Friday, FC Cape Town were ordered to pay a fine of R150 000. During a meeting which was held at the same venue last Monday, May 11, they were found guilty of registering a player, Mahau Vincent Motumi, improperly. The fine was wholly suspended for 12 months, on condition that FC Cape Town are not found guilty of a similar offence during the period of suspension.

Although the fine was conditionally suspended, FC Cape Town were again ordered to pay the costs of the sittings, amounting to R100 000, within 30 days.

Dynamos finished their league programme in the fifth position on the log. They managed to collect 27 points throughout the season, one more than the other Limpopo side, Black Leopards.
