Gazankulu Liberation Congress intends to sue Black Leopards boss David Thidiela on grounds of hate speech and incitement of public violence.

He said the South African constitution Act no 108 of 1996 Chapter 1 & 2 strives to promote unity among st racial, ethnicity and sexuality holistically.
GLC on behalf of all South Africans wish to announce its words of disappointment and gross dissatisfaction on how Club owners who are expected to respect the rules of the PSL and its other affiliated structures.
Chavane said GLC has approached a human rights lawyer for advice and has also visited Thohoyandou Police station to report the matter.
He went on to say South African laws do not support any form of incitement of hate speech and expressions that promotes tribal supremacy over one another.
"We urge the Premier Soccer League to take a legal and disciplinary actions action against the perpetrators of this acts such as what was expressed by the Executive Chairman of Black Leopards FC Mr David Thidiela on Sunday 16 September 2018 at Thohoyandou Stadium in full view of the public," said Chavane.
He also said PSL and Sport in general should be used to unite our people from all walks of life.
“We draw inspiration from the journalists who recorded the event in order to disseminate a message of wrong doing within our sporting codes.”
