November 23, 2023TS Galaxy striker Thamsanqa Gabuza is back on the pitch after posting R5,000 bail on Wednesday. But behind the scenes, the footballer now faces troubling legal issues that threaten his career.
Gabuza turned himself into the police on charges of damaging property – and attempted rape. “The rape accusation is just a rumour,” his lawyer Themba Ngobeni said.
In court, Ngobeni fought for affordable bail, saying Gabuza struggles to support his family on his salary. “His wife doesn’t work. Everyone at home depends on him,” Ngobeni argued.
The state had submitted that bail should be set at R5,000, but Ngobeni argued against the amount.
“We request the court to require him to pay only R2,000 as he has a family to support, and he hasn’t received his salary yet. His wife doesn’t work, and everyone depends on him at home. He has children with needs,” argued Ngobeni.
But questions remain about what happened that night. All we know now is a cell phone got damaged somehow, Ngobeni said. “Gabuza won’t comment yet.”
For now, Gabuza plays on amidst this legal drama. But the allegations could damage his good name. Only time will tell how this impacts his career and life going forward.
