The story
Sekhukhune United players Otladisa and Makgalwa were captured in a tense confrontation during their match against Mamelodi Sundowns.
Despite a strong effort, Sekhukhune lost 1-0 to Masandawana in the Nedbank Cup quarterfinal after extra-time on Friday night at Lucas Moripe Stadium in Atteridgeville.
After Makgalwa was substituted in the 90th minute, he appeared to have an exchange with Otladisa, who remained an unused substitute for the match.
Otladisa, currently on loan from Orlando Pirates, had to be held back by teammates as he approached Makgalwa, who was seated on the floor.
Reports suggest that Makgalwa was urging Otladisa to hurry as he prepared to be substituted on by coach Eric Tinkler, who has yet to give the loanee any game time since his arrival at Babina Noko.

The 28-year-old, who has two goals in 11 appearances for Sekhukhune, took to Instagram to draft an apology letter to the club.
"I'd like to apologise to the Sekhukhune family and all viewers for the behaviour I displayed on Friday evening. Different views were shared with a close friend on the team about the task at hand," shared Otladisa in his apology, posted on his IG story.
"The matter should have been resolved in a respectable manner, however, the nature of the modern game requires winners, problem solvers and most importantly, people who can work together.
"Still, my actions were out of line and not intact with the structures, in short, apologies to all," wrote the ex-Marumo Gallants star.
