EP Kings Official Statement on Luther Obi and Sylvian Mahuza
EP Rugby can confirm that both Luther Obi and Sylvian Mahuza are currently at the EP Kings.
“When EP Rugby engaged with Obi and Mahuza via their agent, Jaco du Plessis, we were told that neither player had a valid players’ contract in place,” said EP Rugby CEO, Charl Crous.
“EP Rugby acted in good faith and, based on the above, offered both players an opportunity to join the Kings ahead of the Vodacom Cup competition,” he said.
Crous said after their arrival in Nelson Mandela Bay, EP Rugby had been contacted by the Leopards, who raised concerns over Obi and Mahuza’s relocation.
“Our understanding is that there are matters between the players and the Leopards that need to be resolved,” Crous said.
“While we cannot comment on the nature of the dispute, we can confirm that we are engaging with the Leopards to see how we can assist in finding an amicable solution for all parties,” he said.
