The ZIFA appeals committee has set next Friday as the date for Herentals\u2019 hearing on their match-fixing case.<\/p>\n
The Students filed a notice of appeal with Zifa last week following a PSL judgement on the matter.<\/p>\n
The Harare-based side was found guilty of manipulating the 3-0 victory against Black Rhinos in October and three points were deducted from their tally, leaving them with less enough spoils to survive the relegation.<\/p>\n
They were also ordered to pay a $300 000 fine.<\/p>\n
Club secretary-general, Fainos Madhumbu, confirmed the developments to the Herald.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have been notified that the hearing of our appeal will be on February 7, 2020. We believe justice will finally overtake personal feelings,\u201d said Madhumbu.<\/p>\n
Should Herentals lose their appeal, they could take the case to an ad-hoc committee or even the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland but that will affect the start of the new Premiership season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
