The commission acted in accordance with section 30 of the SRC Act.

A defiant Kamambo continued to issue statements in the capacity of ZIFA president and even went on to suspend members of the football governing body’s secretariat, moves which resulted in the SRC involving the police leading to the duo’s arrest.

Kamambo and Machana are being held at Highlands Police Station and will be charged to court on Monday.
