PSL prosecutor Nande Becker says he will review the video evidence and then is likely to prepare charges following the unseemly scuffle in the tunnel during Saturday's match between Cape Town City and Maritzburg United.
Fourth-placed City won the Absa Premiership game at Athlone Stadium against last-placed Maritzburg 3-2. Becker said he had not yet viewed the videos of the incident that have gone viral on social media and have been featured on Monday's TV weekend review discussion shows. However, it seems likely that City coach Benni McCarthy, despite his subsequent protestations that he was trying to act as a peacemaker, will be among those charged, as the videos appear to show him having been heavily involved.
"I'm getting video clips and match commissioner's reports and everything like that," Becker said yesterday morning."So the investigation in that has already started."
