Firstly, the Khutjo Mmirwa Tournament (KMT) Executive Committee would like to sincerely thank all community members, supporters, teams, sponsors, and stakeholders for their valuable contribution towards the success of the May Long Weekend Tournament. Your continued support, commitment, and presence made this tournament a success.
The tournament commenced successfully on Day One, with all participating teams honouring their fixtures and playing in a disciplined and respectful manner. There were no disturbances, and the matches were played in a true spirit of sportsmanship. We appreciate all teams for their cooperation and for upholding the values of the tournament.
On Day Two, the competition continued well; however, during the semi-final match, there was an unfortunate disruption involving Ratanang FC. The team stopped the match and raised a protest regarding a penalty decision awarded to Chelsea. While teams have the right to raise concerns, such issues must be handled through proper channels without disrupting the game.
The situation was further escalated by misconduct from supporters of Ratanang FC, namely Mr. Ramasobane Peter and Seloya Simon, who attacked and insulted match officials. This behaviour is unacceptable and in violation of the KMT Rules and Regulations. In line with Rule 8, Ratanang FC has been fined R300.
In a separate incident, Eleven Experience FC player, Calvin โCarlyโ Lekgoto, was found guilty of insulting a match official. This conduct is in violation of Rule 4.4, which prohibits threatening, intimidating, or harassing match officials. As a result, the player has been suspended for two (2) tournaments.
Regarding the matter of Ratanang FC forfeiting their match, the KMT Executive Committee is currently handling the issue through a disciplinary process. A final verdict will be communicated within seven (7) working days.
We would also like to extend our appreciation to all KMT members and organisers who worked tirelessly, day and night, to ensure the success of the tournament. Your dedication and commitment are highly appreciated.
In addition, the netball competition was successfully held over both days. On Day One, Steiloop Team emerged as champions, with Tipeng Team finishing in second position. On Day Two, Tipeng Team claimed victory, while Segole Team finished in second position. We congratulate all netball teams for their participation and sportsmanship.
Finally, we congratulate Blue Blues FC for winning the football tournament and Chelsea FC for finishing in second position. Both teams demonstrated quality football and strong competitive spirit throughout the competition.
The Khutjo Mmirwa Tournament remains committed to promoting discipline, unity, and development through sport.
