Sono insisted that he would not attempt to purchase the status of a fellow team to buy his way back into the GladAfrica Championship.
Ezenkosi will now compete in the ABC Motsepe league next season, with Sono in good spirits despite a disastrous end to the campaign.
"I'm not going to buy someone else's status," Sono said.
"I don't have a problem with people who do that but I'm not going to do it. If I'm relegated, I'm going to play in the ABC Motsepe League.
"Why would I be sad? I'm not sad at all because if I'm relegated, I'm still going to be playing football in the ABC Motsepe League. It's not like I will be switching to swimming," Sono defiantly said.
"I will still be doing something that I love. As long as it's football I can even go and play at Kwa Mai Mai.
"The things I have achieved in football are there for everyone to see and no one is going to erase them. They will always be there.
"I've won six trophies but when I bought Highlands Park and formed this club my aim wasn't to challenge for titles," he said.
"All I wanted was to develop and sell players. I did that and I will still be developing players even if I get relegated."
