In a stunning tirade, Ncikazi implied that there weren’t legitimate reasons for VAR not to be working, while suggesting that officials had deliberately favoured the home team.
The coach also slammed the treatment and conditions the team faced when they traveled to the Benjamin Mkapa stadium in Tanzania, and questioned why fellow African teams were treated this way if there was a genuine common goal of improving football on the continent.
There has been widespread reaction to his comments, with many suggesting it was his proudest moment, while even journalists from Tanzania admitted his complaints were valid.
