TS Galaxy and Sead Ramovic Suing Mamelodi Sundowns Coach Rhulani Mokwena for Over R1 Million
The mud-slinging saga between TS Galaxy coach Sead Ramovic and his Mamelodi Sundowns counterpart, Rulani Mokwena, has taken a legal turn.
Hours before their rather heated DStv Premiership match ended in a 1-1 draw at the Mbombela Stadium on Tuesday, it was revealed that TS Galaxy and Ramovic had filed a R1 million lawsuit against Mokwena for alleged defamatory comments made against Sead Ramovic.
Background
In an interview after a match between the two teams in April, Mokwena accused Ramovic of instructing his players to injure Sundowns midfielder Bongani Zungu.
The ongoing war of words between the coaches escalated during the match, with some tasty tackles, wild goal celebrations, and a lot of pushing and shoving from both camps.
Legal Battle
The court battle between TS Galaxy and Mamelodi Sundowns is set to be protracted. If the court rules in Ramovic’s favor, Mokwena could face several consequences, including a public apology, payment of damages, and potential disciplinary action.
On the other hand, a ruling in Mokwena’s favor would dismiss Ramovic’s allegations and potentially leave the TS Galaxy coach responsible for legal fees.
Mokwena’s Response
When asked about the lawsuit, Mokwena didn’t have much to say: “No, I don’t want to talk about anything.
They have taken me to court. So let’s meet in court.” However, he was more outspoken about the match itself, expressing his frustration with facing TS Galaxy:
“It’s the worst game of football I’ve been involved in from a lot of aspects. Playing TS Galaxy at the moment is torture, something I don’t enjoy”.
Conclusion
As the legal battle unfolds, soccer fans are closely watching the clash between these two coaches.
The courtroom drama adds another layer of intensity to the already heated rivalry between TS Galaxy and Mamelodi Sundowns. Stay tuned for further developments as the case progresses.
