PSL suspends, charges Dynamos manager for juju ritual

The Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League (PSL) has moved to charge Dynamos manager Richard Chihoro over a pre-match anti-juju ritual before the opening day win against Hwange this past weekend.

PSL Disciplinary Committee subsequently moved forward to haul Chihoro for ‘acts of misconduct’.

A PSL statement laid out as below

He is being charged for breaching Order 31 of the PSL Rules and Regulations which makes it an act of misconduct on the part of a player, official, servants or duly authorised (express or implied) representatives of a club who;
31.2.16 Commits any act or makes any statement, either orally or in writing or has been responsible for conduct which is considered ungentlemanly, insulting or improper behaviour, or likely to bring the game, sponsors, any member, the League, ZIFA, CAF or FIFA into disrepute.
31.2.17 Behaves in a manner which brings the League or any of its sponsors into disrepute or endangers the welfare of the League.

The disciplinary proceedings shall take place on Wednesday 5 April 2023 at the PSL offices.

Meanwhile, ‘Chihoro will not be allowed anywhere near the team bus, changing rooms or to sit in the technical area during PSL matches until the matter has been finalised,’ the PSL said
