A game in pain

Last week Friday began with news that prominent referee, Joshua Bondo and three other officials, Mogomotsi Morakile, Kitso Sibanda, and Tshepo Gobagoba had been slapped with a suspension by CAF owing to inaccurate reporting.

Bondo, who was the centre referee during the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier between Benin and Rwanda, was handed a six-month ban, while his compatriots, Morakile, Sibanda, and Gobagoba got a three-month suspension. Benin protested that the officials failed to capture that a Rwandese defender was ineligible for the tie after he was booked in the first leg tie.
