member has been \u2018suspended\u2019 after alleged team leaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to well-known South African football journalist, Lorenz Kohler, a long-serving figure at the club has leaked crucial club information, as well as access codes for data platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shocking revelation was made in the wake of the Tshwane-giant\u2019s crucial CAF Champions League game against MC Alger on Saturday, a game in which the club need to win in order to advance to the next phase of the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

Downs coach Miguel Cardoso expressed that he hopes for a fair contest this weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe need only one thought, support the team, not anything more, I hope the opponent doesn\u2019t guess, or know how we\u2019re going to play, I hope it\u2019s controlled so that we can have a fair game on our side,\u201d Cardoso said according to the
