SULOM OWES K4.2 MILLION FOR REFEREES

Referees during one of the game

The National Referees Association (NRA) has revealed that the Super League of Malawi (Sulom) owes referees K4.2 million in unpaid officiation fees.

According to the Times group NRA General Secretary Chris Kalichero confirmed the case on Tuesday, saying Sulom paid them K5 million but the body was yet to pay the remaining sum of K4.2 million.

“We expect Sulom to pay us the money before the start of next season. It has been long overdue,” said Kalichero.

According Kalichero, Sulom told the referees that the delay to settle the fees comes in due to lack of funds.

Kalichero also said that a set of referees get about K125, 000 per game—translating to K25, 000 per person.

In an interview with the Times group Sulom President Tiya Somba Banda said the referees will get their dues soon.

“We are yet to receive payment from our creditors as well and we will be paying referees as, and when, we receive payments as well,” Somba-Banda said.

The incident comes just a day after Sulom entered into partnership with Kwezy Buses to provide transport for referees ahead of the 2023 season.

Two minutes away from the halftime break, Wanderers won a free-kick on a promising position but were once again denied to open the scoring, this time by Kesten Simbi’s clearance Half-time break came with the two sides unable to find a goal, and the Nomads were left frustrated for getting nothing from their dominance.
