CAF CLEARS SIKAZWE

The Confederation of African Football -CAF- has lifted the provisional suspension of FIFA referee Janny Sikazwe who was accused of corruption in November last year.
The Zambian referee has been handed a reprieve by the CAF Disciplinary Committee after the body sat to review his case.
According to the CAF-website monitored by ZNBC Sport, the disciplinary body has decided that there is no sufficient evidence to implicate the involvement of Sikazwe regarding the allegations of corruption made against him.
Sikazwe was suspended following corruption allegations raised by Angolan outfit Primeiro de Agosto in their 2018 CAF Champions League semi-final match with eventual champions Esperance de Tunis.
Sikazwe officiated at the FIFA World Cup in Russia in 2018 making history as he became the first Zambian to achieve that feat.
But when contacted for a comment Football Association of Zambia-FAZ-Communications manager Desmond Katongo said the association cannot comment on the matter as CAF has not issued official communication yet.
Katongo said FAZ will only comment once CAF has written to the association.
