Captaincy controversy at GU

Friday, March 22, 2024 | 190 Views |

Gaborone United (GU) have down played down reports of a fallout between head coach, Pontsho ‘Piro’ Moloi and Mpho Kgaswane. This follows unsubstantial information that the talented attacking midfielder has been stripped of the captaincy.

In last week's Premier League game, Mothusi Johnson, who has been the vice-captain to Kgaswane, captained the side against Maitaoka.

Kgaswane was part of the playing squad but was not handed the armband. This raised eyebrows with questions as to whether Kgaswane had lost the captaincy or not. Sources told MmegiSport this week that Kgaswane was demoted after an altercation with 'Piro' at the training ground. The source said the player was expelled from training after an argument with Moloi.
