The video clip went viral on social media and Ncobo has now called the incident “violent conduct.”
“As soon as the ball is out of play, it is violent behavior. It does not matter if you commit it with your little finger, fist, head or foot,” said the former PSL general manager. Extra time in SuperSport.
“Violent conduct is punishable by suspension regardless of whether or not a red card is shown during the game. That is irrelevant, violent conduct should be punished by suspension.
“If the referee has been lost that day. We have a duty, as organizing authorities (the PSL), to ensure that an incident like that is referred to the disciplinary committee so that appropriate action is taken.”
