Referee killed in Zimbabwe over disallowed goal...

AN assistant referee in a social game played in Chief Nemangwe’s area in Gokwe South died on the spot after he was struck with a log on the head by a soccer fan for allegedly ruling that the fan’s team had scored an offside goal.

Police confirmed the incident that happened in Takawira Village on Thursday last week at around 3pm.
They identified the deceased as Isaac Mbofana (34), of Takawira village.

Acting police spokesperson for Midlands, Sergeant Thandiwe Khumalo said the incident happened at Jomboringo Primary School where two boozers’ teams were playing against each other.

“It is alleged that on the said date there was a soccer tournament at Jomboringo Primary School. Isaac Mbofana, of Takawira Village and Onismo Sichani, a male adult aged 31 years, of Ndaruza Village also under Chief Nemangwe brought their respective teams to compete in the tournament.
