Green Buffaloes have been fined K150,000 after their fans attacked hosts Power Dynamos fans in a league game on November 5 at Arthur Davies Stadium in Kitwe.
The Week 11 fixture was halted for over 10 minutes with 85 minutes played when alleged Buffaloes security team stormed the famous Power fans southern goal stand after the homeside supporters had repeatedly bombarded goalkeeper Geoffrey Silavwe with missiles.
Buffaloes won the match 1-0.
“Following a complaint by Power Dynamos Football Club against Green Buffaloes Football Club fans, that beat up the former’s supporters on November 5, 2022, in a Week 11 fixture at Arthur Davies Stadium, the Disciplinary Committee has fined the army side K150, 000 for their role in the chaos,” the verdict states.
“The FAZ Disciplinary Committee found Green Buffaloes in breach of article 67.2 of the Disciplinary Code.
“According to the verdict, Green Buffaloes fans had no right to engage in crowd control measures at a football match as it was a preserve of the Zambia Police.
“In terms of Article 67, section 2 of the Disciplinary Code, the 2nd Respondent is fined ZKW150, 000. The amount is to be paid within seven days of receipt of this verdict. The respondent is hereby further finally warned against allowing any uniformed personnel to involve themselves in any activity involving football on their match days, as they have shown clear disregard of statutes that govern the match day and their social responsibility as a club toward the betterment of the game.”
Power and Buffaloes are currently first and second on the FAZ Super League table on 35 and 29 points from 17 games played at the half-way point of the 2022/2023 campaign.

These Chicken reporters! What is stopping you from telling all of us that Power Dynamos fans were attacked by Zambia Army soldiers at a football game, a civillian event. In fact Police should bring this case to court instead of hunting for drivers calling the president a non-christian.
The reporter is so scared he tells us ati ” allowing any uniformed personnel to in
The army is still living in the second republic. Soldiers think they are a bove the law and they think they should enforce the laws. HH the commander in chief must educate his army about democracy.
