JUST IN: Job Sikhala’s conviction in May for obstructing justice quashed by High Court. He was given wholly suspended 6-month sentence and fined US$600. Justices Kwenda and Chikowero on appeal: “Accused is found not guilty and acquitted.”
Sikhala stays in jail on other charges.

Well done @lulubrendafarqh
Congrats to @citezw senior reporter @lulubrendafarqh for winning two wards at the ZUJ National Journalism and Media Awards. She won the Gender and Social Inclusion Award and was runner-up for the Environmental Journalist Award. Lulu did an investigative story on the pollution of the Deka River in Dete due to mining activities. Well done Mankosi. Amazed at how you balance work and your Ph.D. studies.#Asakhe

Issued by a bitter Liverpool supporting official. There is nothing like that in footie. Ref' decision is final- including the decision to use or not to use VAR. That's why refs can even overturn a wrong decision by an assistant referee with/out VAR. Stop the incite!
PGMOL apology:
PGMOL acknowledge significant human error during Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool. The goal by Luiz Diaz was disallowed for offside by the on-field team of match officials. This was a clear and obvious factual error and should have resulted in the goal being awarded.
