“We’d also like to take this opportunity to thank Bidvest Wits and Wits University for availing their ground at the eleventh hour for our use. It is highly appreciated.”
On Thursday, City coach Benni McCarthy released a statement lambasting the City of Cape Town for “forcing football in Cape Town into exile”.
