On Wednesday, the committee announced that the Kgatleng giants have been docked four points after failing to remit revenue from gate takings in their last four home games. The decision caused a significant dent to Magosi’s title and promotional charge. They have now dropped from position four to position seven ahead of their crucial encounter against Notwane tomorrow at the River Plate ground. They are now on 21 points, 16 behind log leaders, Young Stars, with five rounds of matches left before the season comes to an end.
However, Moseki said they are still puzzled by the decision, which has left some of Magosi’s supporters disappointed. "It is true that we received the sad news yesterday (Wednesday) evening. We are still shocked and we are asking ourselves several questions, which need us to engage with both the FDSL and the BFA. The FDS led by Mr Mokgwa (Thebeetsile) seems to be so confused and looking for wrong from an innocent person. Indeed we did not remit, because of their own resolutions,” Moseki said. He added that on October 17 last year, both First Division South and North clubs met and came up with some resolutions. Amongst the resolutions was that P30 be the maximum figure for tickets. In that same meeting, he said the clubs also resolved that they remit 10% of gate takings for all their home games to the league committees. He said the First Division South committee later wrote several letters indicating that they did not recognise the October meeting resolutions. He said they are surprised that the same committee now recognises the same resolutions by demanding that clubs part with 10% from gate takings. “Against our game with Prisons, they continued to de-recognise article 17.1 of the play rules, which gives them the power to remit 10%. They decided to give Prisons 100% denying us our 70%. Now we are here,” he said.
