The league’s prosecutor, Nande Becker, confirmed this week that he was investigating the events that followed Maritzburg defender Rushine De Reuck being sent off in the game that City won 3-2.De Reuck joined his team-mates Fortune Makaringe and Siphelele Ndlovu, who have already been dismissed so far in this campaign.

The 41-year-old added: “My players are physical and football is a contact sport – it is not for sissies. What is more puzzling about Mudau’s dismissals is the short space in which he accumulates his yellow cards. He was cautioned in a space of five minutes against Highlands and in four minutes against Bloemfontein Celtic early last month.

“We are always trying to do our best in discussing the rules of the game and the behaviour of our players.
