A Maritzburg United statement read: “Maritzburg United rubbish outrageous Mokoena Group sale claim.

“Maritzburg United have this afternoon been alerted to concerning reports claiming that the club has been sold.

“The claims made by Lebo Mokoena, CEO of the Mokoena Group, circulating on social media that a sale had been agreed are false and the club would like to place on record that there is no agreement to sell the club nor have any discussions taken place with Mokoena in this regard.

“Mokoena has previously made mischievous and false claims and the club takes strong exception thereto.”

Bloemfontein Celtic were the most recent PSL club to be sold, relocating to KwaZulu-Natal and renaming to Royal AM.

Royal AM lost their opening match of the 2021/22 DStv Premiership season on Sunday when they went down 1-0 away against Swallows.
