GIYANI - It was high drama at the Giyani Stadium before the Castle Premiership League match between Dynamos and Orlando Pirates played last Saturday. The drama ended with the Bucs players using their bus as a dressing room.

According to Pirates’ team manager, Mr Phil Setshedi, it all started when the Dynamos security officers refused to give them the keys to the dressing rooms shortly after their arrival. Setshedi reiterated that they (security officers) were instructed by the club top officials to make things difficult for them.

Setshedi whose anger could not be hidden even over the phone on Monday told Mirror that they were not going to leave the matter but will follow it up. He said that they were going to write a letter of complaint to the Premier Soccer League that afternoon.

He said that the refusal to give them the keys in time was a strategy to kill their fighting spirit. In response to these allegations the Public Relations Officer of Dynamos, Pastor Mafumo, stated that Pirates were demanding the keys to the dressing rooms as early as 07:00.

He stated that when they tried to give them the keys at about 13:00 they refused and chose to go and use the bus as a dressing room. "It must be remembered that when we played them in the first round at the Orlando Stadium, they gave us the keys an hour before the kick off time and we did not complain," said Mafumo. The League Manager, Mr Bafana Dlamini said that he could not comment on the allegations saying they were still waiting for the referee’s report. The man who was blowing the whistle in that game was Mr Enoch Radebe, from Kwazulu Natal. Dynamos lost the match 0-1.
