Makola’s six-month ban reduced on appeal

Makola was suspended by the Premier Soccer League’s (PSL) Disciplinary Committee after being found guilty of ‘assaulting’ Tom during a Telkom Knockout clash with Kaizer Chiefs in October. He was handed a six-month ban.

But the South African Football Association (Safa) Appeals Board reduced the sentence to four matches‚ saying Makola had instead been guilty of unsportsmanlike conduct.

Makola has already served his sentence and will be available for City when they take on Baroka FC on January 5 when the Absa Premiership resumes.
