Ramovic Calls Mokwena a Liar: Why Galaxy Took Him to Court
The ongoing feud between TS Galaxy coach Sead Ramovic and Mamelodi Sundowns coach Rulani Mokwena has captured the attention of soccer fans and pundits alike.
The recent legal battle between the two coaches has added fuel to the fire, and here’s why Galaxy decided to take Mokwena to court.
The Background
The Rockets and Mamelodi Sundowns recently played to a 1-1 draw at the Mbombela Stadium. However, the aftermath of the match was far from peaceful.
A scuffle erupted between the two teams, requiring police intervention to defuse the situation. Amidst this tension, Ramovic and Galaxy decided to take legal action against Mokwena.
The Allegations
Mokwena had made comments suggesting that Galaxy intentionally planned to hurt his midfielder, Bongani Zungu, during the match.
Zungu left the pitch injured, and Mokwena accused Galaxy of foul play. Ramovic vehemently denied these allegations and decided to approach the Johannesburg High Court to set the record straight.
Ramovic’s Stance
In a post-match press conference, Ramovic expressed his frustration with Mokwena’s behavior.
He emphasized the importance of honesty and integrity, stating, “We want to show everyone that he (Rulani Mokwena) is a liar because he made up a story.
These are just principles, and my values are honesty, and I was raised like this”Ramovic further criticized Mokwena for spreading falsehoods about other individuals, including Bernard Parker and Hugo Broos.
Proving Their Point
Galaxy’s legal challenge against Mokwena aims to prove that he lied about their intentions during the match.
Ramovic believes that allowing such false accusations to go unchallenged sets a dangerous precedent.
He asserted, “A lie is a lie, whether small or big, but he’s probably practicing every time that he likes to lie. So we want to prove based on principles that he lied.
We want to make our point because it’s a shame that a coach like him in the beautiful institution like Sundowns is a liar”.
The Origin of the Feud
The bad blood between the two coaches began when Mokwena expressed dissatisfaction with not having his first-choice players during a Carling Knockout penalty shootout defeat against Galaxy. Ramovic publicly voiced his displeasure, and tensions escalated from there.
In summary, the legal battle between Ramovic and Mokwena reflects deeper issues of trust, honesty, and professional conduct within South African soccer. As the court proceedings unfold, fans eagerly await the resolution of this high-profile dispute
