One of the guys said he would talk to Mr Moore. So the guys said 'we are short, come play'. So I went past Busters one day and they were having an Under-20 thing. 'My family house is in Ilanda, the suburb where Busters Rugby Club is. One is late, and the other one was a Mr Moore. So I said 'cool, I cannot understand the charge, but we can't go round in circles.' They said I could train with the (Highlanders) club, but couldn't play. So I came back and they said they were suspending me for one month, and put 90 days away. So at the disciplinary hearing I came out of the room and said I'll come back in after the verdict. But now I'm told I'm the one being charged. But then, during the match the referee actually came over to me and said he was citing my players, not me. But the referee came to me after the conversation and said, 'Victor, one of your players abused me.' So come Monday one of the officials from Matabeleland Rugby Football Board called me and said 'these guys are charging you for abuse'.

'Guys were aggrieved, so one of my players verbally abused the referee. But we were convinced that he had put his foot into touch, he stepped out,' Olonga explains. A player ran down the line, and we conceded a try. The officials were all white, the referee and the two touch-judges. 'When I was playing for Highlanders after I left Old Miltonians, we were playing against (white-dominated) Busters.
