Joshua Bondo has found himself at the centre of attraction once again, following his handling of the Zambia versus Nigeria World Cup qualifier on Saturday.

 Bondo was a subject of abuse from the Zambians on social media platforms after his assistant referee ruled out Augustine Mulenga’s strike for offside in a match that guaranteed Nigeria’s place at the next year’s tournament.

Chipolopolo fans branded the Selebi-Phikwe born referee an ‘evil man’ while some went as far as calling him a ‘toilet paper’. Bondo is not new to controversy as in March, he was involved in a rather unusual pitch tussle when he officiated a friendly game between South Africa and Angola played in South Africa.
