Gantsi Terrors’ player, Onneile Segwai’s assault on the assistant referee has led to the encounter against Mogoditshane Fighters to be abandoned on Saturday afternoon.

The game was called off in the 43rd minute. Fighters were leading 1-0 through Khubalo’s strike in the 16th minute. The match commissioner, Thebeetsile Mokgwa told Sport Monitor that they decided to call off the match because the assistant referee was complaining of a headache from the assault. He explained that they did not expect Segwai to assault the assistant referee.
