Comits’ comments come after reports that the PSL was planning to punish the club for wearing a jersey with an unauthorised sponsor’s logo.
“I think (the PSL) are on a big witch hunt here and quite frankly we are 100 percent confident that we have done nothing wrong‚” Comitis told The Sowetan.
“Over and above that the league met a senior counsel on the matter without any input from ourselves. They handed over the documents and minutes that they had in their possession and the SC came back and categorically stated that there were no grounds in place to preclude us from signing the deal,” he added.
“So, any charge of us defying comes from a place where they had no right to be implementing such a ruling against us,” concluded Comitis.
