Rulani Mokwena Gets Suspended Jail Term Over Undeclared Cash at Algerian Airport

The former Mamelodi Sundowns and MC Alger coach faced the Dar El Beida Court in Algiers after trying to leave Houari Boumediene International Airport with about $15,000 undeclared—over Algeria’s $7,500 limit.

The court issued a two-month suspended jail term Monday, confiscated €14,200, and fined him 50,000 Algerian dinars, around €200. This came days after his mutual split from MC Alger, with the South African embassy offering consular help as he awaits a flight via Turkey to possibly join Libya’s Al-Ittihad.

Sources say the 39-year-old was unaware of the strict rules after just seven months in the country.
