The incident took place during a National First Division (NFD) match between TS Sporting and the University of Pretoria in Tshwane on November 2. 

"The Premier Soccer League (PSL) Disciplinary Committee last night imposed six months ban from football on TS Sporting official‚ Mr. Vusi Ntimane," the PSL said in a statement on Wednesday.

"Mr. Ntimane was found guilty of misconduct in abusing‚ harassing and throwing the contents of an energy drink bottle at match official Mr Akho Ndzingo during the GladAfrica Championship fixture between TS Sporting and University of Pretoria at Tuks Stadium on November 2, 2019."
