Latest on Sipho Mbule’s misconduct case at Sekhukhune United

Babina Noko were forced to send the player home early last week when reports emerged that Mbule, who is on a season-long loan from Mamelodi Sundowns, had been in a verbal confrontation with a member of the technical team.

The identity of the other party was not revealed, but the club management were quick in trying to resolve the matter.

Mbule was left out of the squad for the trip to Richards Bay in the Betway Premiership last Wednesday, a 2-1 defeat that subsequently led to the sacking of coach Lehlohonolo Seema.

Seema has been replaced by Eric Tinkler.

As per the loan policy, Mbule would not have featured in the Nedbank Cup quarter-final clash against his parent club Sundowns over the weekend either had it gone ahead as scheduled.

The match was postponed due to a venue mishap between SAFA and the PSL.

What has now come to the attention of the public broadcaster and confirmed by high-ranking sources, Mbule did have a meeting internally and the outcome is that the player has been cleared and can resume training.

Mbule joined Babina Noko to get more minutes this season having fallen down the pecking order at Sundowns but is still expected to return to the club in July unless Sekhukhune decide to buy him outright.
