Chiukepo faces lengthy ban after beating referee
Striker Chiukepo Msowoya risks getting a lengthy ban following his physical attack on Mzuzu based referee Misheck Juwa during the violence that occurred on Sunday at Bingu National Stadium in Lilongwe during the Airtel Top 8 final between Nyasa Big Bullets and Blue Eagles.
Msowoya pounced on the referee before other players and supporters joined the fray. As police and game Stewarts fought against the aggressive Bullets’ followers, a rain of missiles poured onto the pitch from the stands occupied by Bullets fans.
The ulgy scene of violence reare dits ugly head again when Stuart Mbunge netted the winner for the Malawi Police Service (MPS)-sponsored side from a spot-kick awarded after Bullets’ Yamikani Fodya fouled Gilbert Chirwa in the box. The decision infuriated some Bullets fans and players who were seen physically assaulted referee Juwa while others threw objects on the pitch.
In a video, which is circulating on social media, it is an objective evidence where Msowoya is seen violently raging at the the refree who was rescued by the police
Football Association of Malawi Competitions Committee Chairperson, Jabbar Alide said they cannot tolerate uncouth behaviour in a game of football and said what he witnessed on Sunday was uncalled
for.
“We are going to take stern measures to anybody involved as well as the officials that I saw inciting. We’re waiting for the referee and match commissioner’s reports so that we act accordingly and deal with these bad elements of the game which tarnish the image of football.”
He said the issue will have to go through the disciplinary committee.
There is already a precedence when Moyale Barracks goalkeeper Mc Donald Harawa was banned for six months by the Super League of Malawi for punching referee Sam Mangasanja and his assistant Kelvin Ngolanga.
Three Red Lions players namely Loti Chawinga, Dickson Mbetewa Jnr were also banned for a year by Sulom for manhandling referee Boniface Chapinga during their League game against then Sure Stream FC.

To Bullets Players and Supporters,football is not being played on paper but it is played on the pitch
kkkkkkkkk Achiukepo mupite ku Boxing mpila sitimapsa mtima zimadana ndi Bp izi
Is there anybody who can critically analyze the video clip with an open mind from 10-43 seconds please?? What I’m seeing in this section of the video clip, especially from 10-16 seconds, is actually Chiukepo Msowoya coming to rescue the Referee from the incoming group of other bullets players and fans before hell broke loose. From 10-12 seconds: First is Chimango Kayira, who is the first in stopping fellow bullets players from manhandling the Referee. From 12-30 seconds: Chiukepo grabs the Referee to further shield him from the angry players and fans. On the 13th second, Police and Stewards arrive… Read more »
Great analysis and your observations are right. I agree with this 100000%
B.I.G, thanks for the narration of what you observe from the video clip. Some of us did not see it happening nor have we seen the clip. However, the interpretation of what was going on, solely depends on the person watching the video clip. Players, I believe have their code of conduct in football. You might have intention of being a good Samaritan as a player but due to certain rules in football it might bring trouble when it comes to getting closer to the referee.
Why was he holding up the referee?What action did he take when the mention people were beating the referee?
Your analysis is wrong. Your interpretation is based on the video clip. So you are free to interpret as you lile. Those os us who were at Bingu Nattional Stadium and watched the the game saw Msowoya punching the referee. It is true technology is good but you can also abuse it by telling people lies about the photo or video clip. You can also photoshop it by bringing in other people. So your conclusion is wrong. You are a liar and a fool. Those of us who were at BNS saw what happened. If you a BB fan, sorry… Read more »
Thanks for your contrary observation, Sir. I guess you heard what the Referee said in his report that Chiukepo Msowoya DID NOT punch him as you said. You may have been present at BNS but missed or wrongly made conclusions in as far as the incident is concerned. Don’t worry though as it happens to everyone.

Video technology has emerged as a powerful medium through which first hand information about an event can be gathered and in a given situation may prove to be a crucial piece of evidence. At the same time, it could be susceptible to tampering and alterations by transposition which may be difficult to detect. Such evidence may be received with caution. Thus they can be manipulated in order to skew the reality. However, for it to be of value, it must either support or undermine the truth of any point at issue in the proceedings. The questions are: how was the… Read more »
@ Ngonoonda
So who and what are you and what are you saying?.
Let investigations begin and law take its course. Simple.
Join the discussion.I agree with you 100 percent..From the evidence of this clip Chiukepo did not beat the referee in fact he was protecting the referee and I am certain the referee will attest to this in his match report.
You are just showing your foolishness about technology and how challenged you are in thinking. The referee will write a report about what happened. Moreover, people saw what happened. Uchindele pera. So what defence do you have?
Newspapers, radio stations reported about the incident. So what are you disputing
WAITING TO HEAR THE PUNISHMENT WITH AN EAGLES EAR
A tumbuka ndi ma savage paja
The fault of one individual cannot be apportioned to everybody in a specific society or a specific ethnic grouping. Let us not bring in one’s ethnicity is such matters. No one is fallible.
who said the tumbukas are the savages
Thanks with your comment but may God forgive you
Foolish iwe, this has nothing to do with aTumbuka
……..what if the referee………….
The comments are prejudicing the outcome of the disciplinary process. What is the referee was in the wrong, should Chiukepo be punished? The offence could be the awarding of the wrong penalty or the beating of the referee. Avoid delivering judgement before hearing!!!!!
