Cape Town – Ajax Cape Town star Mabhuti Khenyeza could be banned for 12 months for spitting at a linesman in a Premier Soccer League game last month, according to a Sowetan report.

Khenyeza faces a hearing in Johannesburg on Wednesday at which charges of “misbehaviour and unsporting behaviour” will be put to him.

Khenyeza is alleged to have spat and verbally insulted linesman Zakhele Siwela after he was sent off late in the game against Mamelodi Sundowns early last month.
