Mabhuti Khenyeza is free to play soccer again after his 12-month ban was overturned.

KickOff.com can confirm that the 31-year-old striker, who was recently signed by Mpumalanga Black Aces, was instead handed a R50 000 fine, R25 000 of which is suspended.

As it stands, Khenyeza will be able to feature for Aces straight away, though we have learnt that the Premier Soccer League may take the matter to arbitration.

Khenyeza was originally banned for 12 months after being found guilty of spitting at and abusing a match official while playing for Ajax Cape Town against Mamelodi Sundowns.

“We are very pleased with the ruling and now hope the player will assist Aces in our 2013/14 season. He can now focus on football matters on the pitch and put this saga behind him,” Aces co-chairman George Morfou says.
