What started the George Lebese fight?

Last week shockwaves were sent across the soccer fraternity after soccer ace, George Lebese, was arrested and charged with assaulting his longtime girlfriend.

George, who is known is soccer circles as being a 'sweetheart' and 'humble' has been charged with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and malicious damage to property.

City Press is reporting that according to the charge sheet, a fight erupted after George received a call from another woman.

Apparently his girlfriend decided to leave when she claims a car chase ensued. It's claimed that George got out, kicked the car and smashed the windows until they were damaged. Sources have told the newspaper she sat there in shock and wept.

George is due to appear in court next month.
