The South African Football Players Union says it is disturbed following accusations levelled against its members by club bosses that they took bribes to throw games.
The union says in the first instance it was Maritzburg United who accused Dikuli Bageta of deliberately missing a penalty against Mpumalanga Black Aces and now is Thanda Royal Zulu who are doing the same Esau Mtsweni.
“It is very unprofessional that these clubs are blaming our members for taking bribes which is totally nonsense,” the union said in a statement.
The union says they are not going to allow individuals to damage the excellent work the players are doing by coming up with unfounded allegations.
“As SAFPU, we urge the PSL to investigate this bribery allegation thoroughly and charge the culprits, in this instance the bosses who are corrupt,” added the statement.
