Last Saturday was a nightmare day for one of the local referees, Mr Avhasei Edgar Simba of Phalama village. He was officiating in the Vodacom Promotional League match between Nobela All Stars and Baroka FC at the Malamulele Stadium. Simba cursed the day he chose refereeing as a career shortly after the final whistle. The officials and fans of Nobela All Stars allegedly barged onto the pitch and assaulted him, accusing him of favouritism. The mob accused Simba of denying them what they described as two clear penalties in the game. The league was still awaiting the reports from the two clubs and the match officials at the time of going to press.
