Soccer coach found guilty of sexual assault

The coach remains in custody while he waits for sentencing on July 15.

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

On June 24, Gama appeared before the court where the legal proceedings surrounding the three cases that were opened two years ago, took place.

Although he pleaded not guilty to all charges against him, he was cleared of the first case that occurred in September 2023 and was found guilty by the magistrate for the two other cases which occurred in mid-May of the same year.

This comes after his arrest in 2024 following the charges of molesting three teenage boys during soccer camps.

In court, it was stated that in all three incidents, Gama targeted boys who slept next to him during the camps, which he then used as an opportunity to molest the boys.

Gama remains in custody until his sentencing on July 15.
