Orlando Pirates star in party altercation

Last weekend, the Pirates’ left-back and his brother were at a party in Spruitview, east of Johannesburg. During the gathering, both were involved in an altercation with another man.

Allegedly, the man was assaulted and shot at by one of the brothers. The bullet hit his ring finger.

During the arrest on Monday, the police failed to find the firearm that was supposedly used in the incident.

The Magistrate in charge of the case postponed the matter to the 23rd of June for further investigation.
