During a match against Azam on 10 March 2012 in which Yanga lost 3-1, five of the team's players were fined and banned by the Tanzania Football Federation for assaulting the referee during the game. Stephano Mwasika was found guilty of directly punching the referee, was handed a 1 year ban and a TSh. 1 million fine by the federation. Nurdin Bakari and Omega Seme were fined TSh. 500,000 and handed three-match bans. Jeryson Tegete was banned for six months and assistant captain Nadir Haroub was ordered to serve a six-match ban. The club itself had to part with TSh. 500,000 for crowd trouble caused by their fans during the match. An additional TSh. 500,000 fine was also imposed on the club after more than five of their players were yellow carded during the game.[1]
