The player, who was charged at Midrand Police Station, can only be named once he appears in court.

The incident comes just days after Orlando Pirates completed their league campaign, where they finished third in the standings after a win over Stellenbosch on Saturday.

Their placing on the log means that they will compete in the Caf Confederations Cup in the upcoming season.
