DStv premiership clash between TS Galaxy and Mamelodi Sundowns has been postponed, the Premier Soccer League(PSL) confirmed.
The much-anticipated encounter with renewed rivalry between the two team’s head-coaches was scheduled to take place at the Mbombela stadium, Mpumalanga on Wednesday night.
PSL said the decision has been made in consideration of the extraordinary circumstances following an accident involving the TS Galaxy FC team bus and another motor vehicle on Tuesday afternoon.
TS Galaxy bus involved in a crash
The accident occurred on the Schoemanskloof road section of the N4 between Pretoria and Mbombela when Galaxy’s bus was involved in a head-on collision with a VW Polo.
The driver of the Polo was reportedly killed. None of the occupants of the bus were injured.
Detailing the experience, The Rockets chairman Tim Sukazi said remarked that the team is “traumatized” after they witnessed the dead body of the driver of the car and after assessing the situation again with the players at training, he feels compelled to write to the League and Sundowns to ask for a postponement.
“We’re a league that is run by the executive, we’ll send the communique to the League and our colleagues at Sundowns, for the League to make the determination,” Sukazi said on Metro FM Sports.

The league further added that details regarding the rescheduled fixture will be communicated in due course.
