Referee Dennis Ngulube has been banned from taking charge of football matches in the country throughout his life following a number of acts of misconduct.
Ngulube was serving a one year ban only to be told he has been banned for life after the one-year punishment.
Ngulube’s fate springs from 2016 when he was in charge of Carlsberg Cup final match between BeForward Wanderers and Silver Strikers at Kamuzu Stadium. He left the field of play in the 72nd complaining of a heart problem and fourth official Aziz Nyirenda had to take over to finish the last eighteen minutes as well as taking charge of the post-match penalties because the game had to be decided on penalties. Wanderers won 6-5 after the penalties.
Moyale Barracks Football Club, fondly called The Lions of Kaning’ina, has wound up the first round of the 2021 TNM Super League season on position four with 24 points after beating Karonga United 2-0 on Sunday at Mzuzu Stadium.
The Mzuzu soldiers started the season on a bad note and at one point they anchored the log table, a situation that worried all the followers of the club.
But coach Prichard Mwansa made sure the team moved up the ladder slowly but surely and as they wound the first round, they had registered six consecutive wins.
The road to position four started with a 1- nil win at home against BeForward Wanderers, followed by another 3-2 home win against Ekwendeni Hammers. Then the soldiers travelled to Lilongwe where they defeated their brothers in arms, Kamuzu Barracks, 0-1 before returning home to pounce on Mzuzu Warriors with the same margin.
