Notwane reports ‘drunk’ referee to BFA :: Mmegi Online

Debswana First Division South League side, Notwane want action taken against referee, Laone Beleng who handled their weekend tie against Young Stars. Notwane claim Beleng was under the influence of alcohol when he handled the match which Toronto lost 1-0 at the SSG grounds on Saturday.

The club has since filed a complaint with the BFA regarding the conduct of the match official during the game. Beleng awarded Young Stars two penalties and showed Notwane’s Sthembile ‘Terry’ Mbuqe a straight red card mid-way through the first half.

After the red card incident, Notwane reportedly complained to the match commissioner, raising their suspicions that Beleng could have been under the influence. However, their complaints fell on deaf ears. “Terry was fouled and complained to the referee but he was shown a straight red, why? The referee went on to give Young Stars two penalties and they scored the second with just three minutes to full time.
