Rhinos found guilty, sanctioned

ZIFA Northern Region Division One Black Rhinos have been found guilty of bringing the game of football into disrepute after violence rocked their league match against CC Lee Mhangura last month.

Coach Nesbert Saruchera and fitness trainer Brighton Chandisaita as well as some players were found guilty of invading the pitch before assaulting referee Pride Benhura after he had awarded Mhangura a penalty.

The club was fined US$4 000, which they have to pay within five days, in addition to a ban from playing in the league until they pay the full amount.
