The statement further stated that the matter is subject to judicial processes.

Mahachi has only made eight appearances for the in the DStv Premiership this season, with his last being in February when SuperSport United lost 2-1 to Maritzburg United.
Matsatsantsa have followed two Soweto giants who also have suspended their players because of their off the field ill-discipline. Kaizer Chiefs were the first after they suspended Dumisani Zuma twice already this season.
The first time came after Zuma was arrested for being drunk in November last year and the second time was last month when the forward attended training under the influence of alcohol.
Orlando Pirates followed their rivals and suspended Nkanyiso Zungu.
In March the former AmaZulu midfielder was arrested for domestic violence after his girlfriend opened a case against him.
