They were slapped with indefinite suspension pending a disciplinary hearing by the mother body, Botswana Football Association (BFA) in 2018 over allegations that they embezzled P168,000 belonging to the association. But the accused members deny the charge.

The committee members have been on suspension for two years without any hearing.

They want the matter to be set aside as ‘justice delayed is justice denied’.
