Investigations Report on Allegations of Match Fixing

Jun 20, 2023

Botswana Football Association has received a report on allegations of match fixing.

BFA had on the 24^th April 2023 commissioned a committee to investigate allegations of match fixing levelled against some of its employees.

The terms of reference of the committee included:

Investigate the nature of the audio clip being a recorded conversation between BFA’s General Manager Mr Monnakgotla Mojaki and Mr Joshua Bondo, in particular whether there was an attempt to bribe or influence a match official or to match fix.
Investigate whether there are grounds to conclude that Mr Mojaki has breached the BFA Condition of service and workplace Policies.

Advise whether Mr Mojaki’s conduct constitutes misconduct and if so, whether he should be referred to a disciplinary enquiry.

Investigate whether match fixing is prevalent and if it is, advise how BFA can resolve this.

The investigations committee which was made up of three people has now completed those investigation and have submitted a report to BFA.

By this public statement, the BFA wishes to acknowledge the report. We will be studying the report before deciding our next course of action.

As BFA we would like to take this opportunity profusely thank the investigating committee for their service to the nation and to Botswana football.
