By MOSES  CHIMFWEMBE –
THE Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) disciplinary committee has slapped a life ban on Enock Moyo, a player for Division Two North side Kasama Malalo Police, for manhandling a referee.
The disciplinary committee has also awarded MTN-FAZ Super Division side Green Eagles three points off Kabwe Warriors for the abandoned Week Four match played at Godfrey Chitalu Stadium in Kabwe.
FAZ communications manager Nkweto Tembwe said in a statement released yesterday that the decisions were made by the disciplinary committee that sat last weekend at Football House in Lusaka.
Tembwe said the disciplinary that sat to consider the various pending cases, slapped a life on the Kasama-based player for unruly behaviour and further fined his club K1, 500 and K200 for failing to attend the hearing on the matter.
“The disciplinary committee considered a case of an abandoned Week Six Division Two North match between Kasama Malalo Police and Tazara Blue Stars on April 26, 2014.
Enock Moyo of Kasama police manhandled the referee forcing the game to be abandoned,” he said.
Tembwe said during the same sitting, the committee awarded Eagles three points and fined Warriors K5, 000 for the violent conduct of their fans.
The match involving Warriors and Eagles was halted by Kitwe-based referee Mercy Lengwe 20 minutes from full time after home fans started throwing stones on their technical bench in protest for then coach Wesley Mondo after the visiting took a 2-0 lead.
In another verdict, Lusaka Dynamos have been awarded three points over their unfulfilled fixture with Kafue Celtics on April 27 that was scheduled for Khosa Stadium.
Tembwe said Kafue Celtics have also been charged K1, 500 for failing to fulfil this fixture while Lusaka Tigers have been awarded three points on a 2-0 basis after Mazabuka United failed to make it for a Week Six match against Tigers.
“All the affected clubs are reminded of their right to appeal the verdicts passed,” Tembwe said.
