Abused female refs take on Zhoya’s accomplices

Evelyn Shumba  of Shumba and Partners law firm, the lawyer representing female referees that were subjected to sexual abuse by former Zifa referees committee secretary-general Obert Zhoya, has challenged Fifa to go after the former’s accomplices.

Zhoya was handed a five-year ban by Fifa and fined US$20 300 after being found guilty of “abusing his position to sexually harass three female referees.”

Fifa released a statement this week announcing the verdict after investigations into the matter.
