ONLY one round of matches has been played in the 2023 Castle Lager Premier Soccer season and Dynamos already face paying a hefty fine for the conduct of their welfare and logistics manager – Richard Chihoro.
The Dynamos official has been summoned by PSL to appear before the league’s disciplinary committee following acts of misconduct that took place at Barbourfields Stadium last Saturday.
Dynamos was due to play Hwange when the alleged transgression took place.
In videos that have been widely circulating on social media, Chihoro is seen sprinkling a liquid and later what appears to be a powder-like substance at a goal post.
Football fans that commented on the social media footage are in consensus that it’s an act of juju – a mystic procedure conducted by team officials to ‘win’ football games by giving their sides an unfair advantage over rivals.
“Mr Chihoro will not be allowed anywhere near the team bus, changing rooms or to sit in the technical area during PSL matches until the matter has been finalised. Mr Chihoro is being charged for breaching Order 31 of the PSL Rules and Regulations which makes it an act of misconduct on the part of a player, official, servants or duly authorised (express or implied) representatives of a club who;
“Commits any act or makes any statement, either orally or in writing or has been responsible for conduct which is considered ungentlemanly, insulting or improper behaviour, or likely to bring the game, sponsors, any member, the League, ZIFA, CAF or FIFA into disrepute.
“Behaves in a manner which brings the League or any of its sponsors into disrepute or endangers the welfare of the League,” announced the league.
The disciplinary proceedings will take place on Wednesday 5 April 2023 at the PSL offices.
