The news that many South Africans had been dreading to hear was finally confirmed on Saturday when Jomo Cosmos were relegated from the professional ranks of local football.
Cosmos, a club owned by one of the country's most loved and respected football figures Jomo Sono, were relegated from the GladAfrica Championship after their 1-1 draw with TS Sporting at Tsakane Stadium.
Ezenkosi, as the club is affectionately known, will now hold ABC Motsepe League semi-professional status as of next season. But as the years went on, the club became one of the obvious candidates for relegation from the Premier Soccer League and they were eventually labelled a “yo-yo” team as they were promoted or relegated.They came to the game on Saturday knowing they needed a win at all costs, but were also aware that that might not be enough for them to remain in the professional ranks.
Cosmos broke the deadlock after 32 minutes of play in Tsakane when Burundian defender Nsabiyumva scored with a header from a long Cosmos throw-in.
