Bongi Mbonambi Could Depart Durban as Sharks Put Their Disciplinary Foot Down
The Springbok hooker could face contract termination as the Sharks finalize a disciplinary ruling over alleged misconduct during a pre-season team-building camp.
- Springbok hooker Bongi Mbonambi is under investigation by the Durban-based Sharks for alleged misconduct during a pre-season team-building camp. The 35-year-old veteran could face contract termination if found guilty.
- According to Sunday Afrikaans publication Rapport, the incident occurred at Bayala Private Safari Lodges, where Mbonambi reportedly disobeyed coach JP Pietersen's instructions regarding socializing during a team meeting.
- While teammates Fez Mbatha and Eduan Swart received written warnings for the breach, senior player Trevor Nyakane reportedly avoided punishment because he was absent when Pietersen stipulated the rules.
- Despite being fully fit, Mbonambi has been excluded from training and matchday squads as the process unfolds, while Sharks coach Pietersen has offered "no comment" to media inquiries.
- The disciplinary cloud casts doubt over Mbonambi's future in Durban and jeopardizes his chances of forcing his way back into the Springbok setup ahead of the upcoming November Test window.
