Mhango and Morton charged by PSL

Cape Town - Gabadinho Mhango and Michael Morton have been charged by the Premier Soccer League (PSL) over an incident in the clash between AmaZulu and Bidvest Wits.

Usuthu midfielder Morton was sent off in the second half of his side's 3-0 win at the Princess Magogo Stadium on September 20, after reacting angrily to being spat at by Wits striker Mhango following an altercation.

The Malawi international must now answer a misconduct charge for his disgraceful actions, although the PSL has summoned Morton to a Disciplinary Committee hearing as well for retaliating.

"Mr Mhango has been charged with misconduct for allegedly offending the dignity of Amazulu FC player, Michael Morton, following an alleged spitting incident on 20 September 2017 at the Princess Magogo Stadium," read a statement from the league's governing body.

"Mr Morton has also been charged with misconduct for allegedly offending the dignity of Bidvest Wits FC player, Gabadinho Mhango, following a further alleged spitting incident on 20 September 2017 at the Princess Magogo Stadium."
