eMalahleni coach found guilty of molesting boys during soccer camps

Two boys were molested during soccer camps by their coach, who was found guilty and will be sentenced next month.

Soccer coach Sibusiso Gama has been found guilty by the Witbank Magistrate’s Court in eMalahleni of molesting minor boys entrusted to his care during soccer camps.

Witbank News reports that Gama appeared in court on Tuesday, where legal proceedings surrounding three cases opened two years ago took place.

Although he pleaded not guilty to all charges, he was acquitted in the first case, which occurred in September 2023. However, the magistrate found him guilty in the other two cases, which took place in mid-May that year.

This follows his arrest in 2024 on charges of molesting three teenage boys during soccer camps.

In court, it was revealed that in all three incidents, Gama targeted boys who slept next to him during the camps, using the opportunity to molest them.

Gama remains in custody until his sentencing on July 15.
