The league further states that the suspended amount will be added will be added to any determination were Karoi is found guilty for bringing the game of football into disrepute. Meanwhile the decision is designed to ensure that future incidents of a similar nature will not occur, and in the process protects the game of football.
Following this ruling by the disciplinary committee Scotland’s dreams to play in Zimbabwe‘s top flight league seems to be ballooning. The Scott Sakupwanya owned side has shot to the top of the league with 84 points, 2 points ahead of second placed MWOS FC.
As the NRSL heads towards the tipping, the title is firmly in the hands of Scottland FC with MWOS hoping and praying for a blip from the Mabvuku based outfit which according to the form book is unlikely.
