Media Statement – Disciplinary Outcome

Joey Mongalo
– Disciplinary Outcome
The Lions Rugby Company has concluded their internal disciplinary procedure which was chaired by an independent labour consultant on Thursday 25 April 2019.
Mr. Mongalo was found to have breached Company Policy, by bringing the Company's name into disrepute. The Company has decided to proceed with the recommended sanction handed down by the independent labour consultant which includes corrective disciplinary action and compulsory ethical and professional management training.
Legally Mr. Mongalo maintains his innocence and therefore continues to appeal the Australian Magistrate court ruling and he proceeds to do so in his private capacity.
Mr. Mongalo is scheduled to resume his duties on Monday 6 May 2019, and the Company considers the matter as having been finalized.
The Lions Rugby Company will not make any further comments regarding this matter.
