Additionally, Mafco striker Richard Mbulu has been fined K500,000 and is banned for one match on the charge of misconduct.<\/p>\n<p>Fam released the verdict yesterday after reviewing evidence and reports from relevant parties. Wanderers have been found guilty of bringing the game into disrepute, in line with Article 67 of Fam\u2019s Disciplinary Code.<\/p>\n<p>The Nomads were also found guilty of bullying opponents, in line with Article 22.13 of the 2022 Airtel Top 8 Cup. Each of the two charges attracted a K500,000 fine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMighty Mukuru Wanderers FC failed to prevent their supporters from engaging in improper conduct as per count one above and their actions brought the game of football, Fam and name of the sponsor into disrepute contrary to Article 67 of the Fam Disciplinary Code,\u201d the verdict reads.<\/p>\n<p>Wanderers\u2019 Board Secretary Chancy Gondwe confirmed receipt of the verdict. \u201cFor now, we will wait for the board to make a decision on the matter,\u201d Gondwe said.<\/p>\n<p>Fam Competitions Committee has also commenced proceedings and charged all six Wanderers supporters suspected to have been involved in misconduct. The supporters are Dennis Chitsulo, Antony Chawanda, Llyod Makandanji, Lackson Meke, Osman Gomani and Peter Mvalo.<\/p>\n<p>The six have been charged with two cases each for bringing the game into disrepute and bullying opponents. Mafco were fined K500,000 for bullying and threatening match officials, in line with Article 22.13 of the 2022 Airtel Top 8 Cup.<\/p>\n<p>The Salima-based soldiers were also slapped with a K500,000 suspended fine for bringing the game into disrepute, in line with Article 67 of Fam\u2019s Disciplinary Code.<\/p>\n<p>Mbulu\u2019s ban means the striker will miss the return match between the two sides, which is scheduled for Chitowe in Dwangwa, Nkhotakota, on Sunday if Mafco do not appeal the ban.<\/p>\n<p>Mafco General Secretary Mike Uzale said they will appeal the verdict. \u201cJustice should prevail. We were not given a chance to be heard and it seems Fam had already made a decision on the matter,\u201d Uzale said. Both clubs have up to 72 hours to appeal. Wanderers go into the return match, having won the first leg 2-0.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/malawi\">Malawi<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
