Marumo Gallants have joined their PSL rivals Orlando Pirates in suspending their first-team players this season.
Tholang Masegela, Aluwani Nedzamba, and Simon Mamudzidi are the players named who have been removed from the squad following a reported disagreement with the club’s hierarchy.
Our sources indicate that it is due to a recent blow-up regarding contractual disputes.
“Marumo Gallants F.C has confirmed that it has given suspension letters to three of its players,” the statement said.
“Tholang Masegela, Aluwani Nedzamba, and Simon Mamudzidi, were suspended following a meeting called by senior management to address individual players today.
Management will not discuss the reasons of the suspension now as this is still an internal matter.
“The club’s spokesperson, Rufus Matsena says there are serious allegations against the three and that management will only respond once the matter has been addressed.”
Gallants have become the second PSL club to announce the suspension of a player this month after Pirates.
Pirates issued a statement indicating that the Ben Motshwari was suspended as the matter is subject to a legal process and the club was therefore unable to make further comment until that process is complete.
Motshwari, who is one of Pirates’ most influential players, missed the clash against Mamelodi Sundowns last weekend with Bucs losing 2-0 in a PSL encounter.
The 30-year-old central midfelder remains suspended with Pirates set to take on Cape Town City in a league game on Saturday.
