It is reported that ZIFA Referees’ Committee has already suspended one of the accused after he allegedly refused to respond to the allegations. The committee has asked him to write a report explaining what really transpired. Bryton Maladule who heads the committee however said: ---------- Latest itel S24 available on Pindula: 128GB storage, 4GB RAM $119 USD WhatsApp: +263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 Buy Online: https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-s24-128gb-22-20240426142756795795/?s=wanews ---------- > No-one one has been suspended, it’s just speculation. The Herald sources claim that the particular match, which was eventually won by the North African country, featured four Zimbabwean match officials. They also said that the referee had been suspended and CAF have already been appraised of the developments. The sources said: > He will not be officiating any local games in the foreseeable future as investigations are underway. > The other one, who was also targeted, is said to have given his side of the story, but we don’t know what exactly he told the committee. It is alleged that a Zimbabwean referee, Norman Matemera last year rejected a US$10 000 bribe by Equatorial Guinea outfit Desportivo Niefang. The bribe was meant to make him influence the result of their decisive CAF Confederation Cup play-off tie against Cote d’Ivoire’s Williamsville Athletic Club. *Related:* ‘I Don’t See FC Platinum Going Far In CAF Champions League’, CNaPS Coach Chides Referees Trial Date For Chivayo’s Bribery Case Set Zim Cosafa Referees Named More: The Herald _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
