The 42-year-old referee, who was also verbally abused by Leopards boss David Thidiela after the match, did not wear because it clashed with the Celtic kit.
“Hlungwani and the match commissioner were asked to explain what happened in the match and why they didn’t put on the OUTsurance gear‚” Chimhavi told TimesLive.
“In their defence‚ they did not put on the kit because it clashes with that of Bloemfontein Celtic,” he added.
