Very unusual for young girls to behave in such a manner. Amano ya by jerabo.
But I guess its the new Zambia we live in where barbaric conduct is the order of the day and found everywhere.
Infact a life ban would suffice do deter would be offenders and fine the club heavily not Tu ma one pin.
A beg to differ they need to be banned for this season only. Referring in Zambia is so poor that it leads to such situations though ultimately violence is not the answer. The refs need to up their game or avoid corrupt and biased decisions for the good of the sport and its participants.
Total disproportionate punishment for the crime. They deserved a life ban from all sporting events in Zambia. Even if the refereeing standards are poor, violence should never be entertained.
Why not just ban them for life? Why is it that nkana is owez favored by these cadres? Anyway one day
