The Football Association of Zambia -FAZ- appeals Committee has upheld the K20,000 fine and six months ban of Nkana striker ALEX NG’ONGA for offensive behaviour imposed by the Disciplinary Committee.

The Nkana forward was on December 11th last year handed a six-months-ban by the Disciplinary Committee for his behaviour during a Week 14 Super League match between Nkana and Power Dynamos.

NG’ONGA vented his anger on a SuperSport pitch side microphone after angrily tearing his jersey before glaring television cameras and stunned supporters to draw attention to himself.

His actions drew the wrath of the Disciplinary Committee that banned him for six months.

NG’ONGA appealed the decision but has not been successful which rules him out of action for the remainder of the 2022-2023 season.

FAZ General Secretary ADRIAN KASHALA says the committee was of the view that the fine imposed by the Disciplinary Committee is on firm ground as it is a bare minimum.

KASHLA added that the committee took cognisance of the fact that he is also required to repair the mic for SuperSport.

He noted the committee has determined that the K20,000 fine is sufficient to cover the costs of the equipment should the need arise.

He has thanked the Appeals Committee for keeping with the now established tradition of speedy dispensation of justice.
