[QUOTE="saulan, post: 1161617, member: 60236"] Really wanna know what he allegedly said and what the sentence was. I’ve seen “die bal is by die wit kant “ ( the ball is on the white side/England side). I just struggle to see Mbonambi calling him a white **** as it’s really not a South African style insult, but I can 100% see him saying wit kant in the context of the game and trying to speak quickly with team mates. And again, to be clear - if there has been insults related to race then Mbonambi should fully take the punishment for that, but I really think there is strong probability of lost in translation there. I’ve 100% heard Mbonambi speaking Afrikaans on the field. This should be investigated, but I’m not willing to throw Mbonambi under the bus based on this accusation. We also have our history and have a pretty mixed team. His own teammates would give him a proper ribbing if he made a comment like that. [/QUOTE]
