THE regional football governing body, Cecafa is set to report African Champions TP Mazembe to the Confederation of African Football (Caf) this week after their unruly behaviour during Saturday’s Kagame Cup tie with APR.

"We are definitely going to forward the case to CAF and for the record, they will never play in this competition,” the body’s Secretary General Nicholas Musonye said.

Mazembe captain Tresor Mabi Mputu led the assault on the Ethiopian referee Girma Zekeria after being shown the red card.

By the time the match was abandoned, APR was leading 1-0 courtesy of a Kabange Twite 34th minute strike.

Police was even forced to retain one of TP Mazembe’s players Basisila Lusadisu after an attack on a senior police officer.
