Ghana robbed South Africa-Amazulu chairman Zungu

Published on: 18 November 2021

Amazulu chairman, Sandile Zungu, has accused Ghana of match fixing after the Black Stars beat South Africa to secure World Cup qualifiers playoffs place. 

South Africans have been incensed by the result, accusing Ghana of match fixing over the last few days. The South African Football Association have sent a complaint to FIFA on this matter.

Zungu decided to add his voice to it.

"They robbed us blind over there in Ghana, they cheated us dry," Zungu tells Kickoff.com.

"They reminded me of the game between Chiefs and AmaZulu. I applaud SAFA for taking this up with CAF and FIFA, I think we were cheated in broad daylight.

"There was no penalty there. There was no basis for a yellow card on De Reuck. I think it's a poor reflection of the refereeing standard on the continent. Suspicions of match-fixing are not unreasonable.

"For me, it was just painful as the unwarranted altering of the outcome by Jelly Chavani in the game of AmaZulu and Kaizer Chiefs and the other officials.

"The fourth official and Jelly Chavani were guilty as charged for altering the outcome.

"I think there are very good grounds for SAFA to take this up. Unfortunately in our case, the referee's decision was deemed final, I hope in this case this match can be replayed.

"And that's the only justice we can have as South Africa, without a West African as an official. I think that referee was up to some mischief."
