Will Sundowns appeal Zwane’s yellow card?

Mamelodi Sundowns star player Themba Zwane is set to miss the Absa Premiership clash against rivals Orlando Pirates next week Wednesday in Soweto after he picked up a yellow card against Bidvest Wits.


Zwane was booked by referee Abongile Tom for supposedly encroaching past the line when Wits were taking a corner kick at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium where the duo played to a goalless draw on Tuesday night.

Downs coach Pitso Mosimane could not understand why Zwane, otherwise known as “Mshishi” got booked and he said he would like to know why, low-key suggesting the club could appeal the yellow card.

“I don’t want to talk too much about the yellow card that Wayne Arendse got because it is debatable but the one Mshishi got, why? Tom behaved differently hey, why did he go to Mshishi and give him a yellow card?” questioned Mosimane.

He added: “You can’t say it was even dissent because that guy was far away from him. Say he said something or remonstrated. I don’t know what happened, it is a big one and I would love to know what happened, why was he given a yellow card, but you know in South Africa we don’t get answers.”

“If ‘Mshishi’ was over the line, he was supposed to tell him to move… but a straight yellow? They will say the reason is dissent, what is that, can you explain what is that?”
