According to SunSport, Pelembe was supposed to report for duty at the club after the international break but has failed to do so.
Wits coach Gavin Hunt says the disappearance of Pelembe was not something new, as he had done it before when they were both at SuperSport United.
“Pelembe never turned up,” said Hunt.
“He was in the team for the Platinum Stars game but didn’t pitch. He has always been like that, he never turns up. It also happened when we were at SuperSport United.
“What can we say? He knows why he didn’t pitch, but we don’t.
“No decision has been taken yet on what will happen to him, but we will certainly sort it out.”
Wits, who beat Platinum Stars 2-0 in a league match this past weekend, will take on Jomo Cosmos in the Nedbank Last 16 at Tsakane Stadium on Tuesday evening.
