South Africa has upped its complaint against Ndiaye Maguette by pushing for the Senegalese referee's name to be wiped out of the candidate whistle men for the 2022 Qatar FIFA World Cup.
Maguette is amongst the six candidates of referees from CAF for next year's global showcase but his latest line of dubious officiating in the game between Ghana and Bafana Bafana has dragged his name into the mud and left him facing the prospect of either a five year or lifetime ban.
SAFA has lodged a complaint to FIFA supported by an independent report from retired referee Ace Ncobo containing damning evidence of just how the Maguette favoured The Black Stars in Sunday's deciding qualifier which is also suspected of having been caught up in match-fixing.

"My stance is that if we had an opportunity to have five referees on the panel for Qatar 2022 and all five of them displayed this kind of deliberate bias in any of their matches then all five of them must not be given the opportunity to go to Qatar 2022," says Ncobo, a respected former FIFA panel referee.
"If there is one referee who has displayed deliberate bias as we have now discovered he doesn't deserve to go there. You can't take somebody who makes it his mission to unlawfully manipulate a match and influence its outcome to the highest stage in the world.
"The World Cup is a very powerful tool for social cohesion the world over. It can't be given to people who show a lack of integrity so we would not expect him to form part of the panel," says Ncobo.
SAFA boss Danny Jordaan also took shots at the Senegalese referee who has also previously been involved in controversial officiating on the continent.
"The painful part based on this analysis is that the referee who handled the first half could never be considered in any World Cup or qualification match. The referee in the second half can be considered so it depends on which referee you want to send.
"This is the problem, how is it that one person with the same level of experience can have such contradictory application of the laws of the game. It leads to a lack of integrity, possible dishonesty, manipulation and so on and if that is caught then that person similarly can never go to the World Cup. We cannot subject any other nation to what we have found here," says Jordaan.
