Leopards trio punished
► Black Leopards management have taken stringent measures against three players who broke Covid-19 rules and participated in an Easter weekend tournament last week. The three players, Lifa Hlongwane, Tebogo Makobela and Onyedikachi Ononogbu, are alleged to have attended Thabiso Semenya’s tournament last weekend, which broke the club’s Covid protocols. They have since been suspended until the end of the season. “What really got the club unhappy is not only that attending such events are restricted, but they went there immediately after the loss to AmaZulu which left the club in a more precarious position on the log. “Their conduct was seen as disrespectful and unprofessional, but their suspension may have been a little harsh,” said a source.
