Zifa suspends Bulawayo City head coach & chairman over match fixing incident

ZIFA have suspended Bulawayo City head coach Philani “Beefy”Ncube and club chairman Jerry Sibanda over a match fixing incident in the Premier Soccer League.

The Premier Soccer league disciplinary committee has  already banned the club’s former technical members Farai Mujokoro and Gift Mvala for five years for the incident. The pair attempted to give Border Strikers goalkeeper Talent Sande money to throw a game in Bulawayo City’s favour but were exposed after a trap was set up.

According to ZIFA, Sibanda and Ncube have been provisionally suspended by the Zimbabwe Football Association Executive Committee and disciplinary proceedings for the two will be instituted in due course although they are immediately barred from participating in association football activities in Zimbabwe
