Tembu v Maritzburg Postponed


ImageThe Nedbank Cup last 16 game between Tembu Royals and Maritzburg United that was scheduled for this weekend has been postponed until further notice.

The postponement comes as a result of the complaint brought forward to the league by AmaZulu, that Tembu player Zukisa Ginya allegedly used false identity in the last 32 game between the two sides.

A statement from the league said, “The Premier Soccer League (PSL) has postponed the Nedbank Cup fixture involving Tembu Royals and Maritzburg United scheduled for Sunday, 17 March 2013.

“The Nedbank Cup Organising Committee met this morning to deliberate on the matter and decided that it was in the best interests of the competition to postpone the fixture. This is in the wake of the on-going arbitration between Tembu Royals and AmaZulu. AmaZulu are contesting the eligibility of a Tembu Royals player who played against them during the Nedbank Cup last 32 fixture on 27 February 2013.

“PSL general manager of football, Derek Blanckensee, said that the league will advise on the future date for the fixture pending the outcome of the arbitration. The PSL has advised fans who have purchased tickets to hold onto their tickets until further notice. The PSL will advise on the outcome of the arbitration process when the arbitrator makes his award.”
