BFA NEC member loses R100,000 in SA :: Mmegi Online

Botswana Football Association (BFA) National Executive Committee (NEC) member, Lobito Ncube was reportedly defrauded over R100,000 when she was in South Africa for the COSAFA Women’s Championship last month.

According to sources, a female driver who works for COSAFA stole Ncube’s bank card and used it to make purchases worth R116,113.57 (about P85,000). Part of the money was a contingency allowance for the team. The matter was reported to the South African police. The COSAFA Women’s Championship was held in Gqeberha from September 28, 2021 to October 9, 2021 and Ncube travelled as the BFA NEC female representative. “A fraud case has been opened against the suspect by the police.

The affected shops have agreed that they will refund the money from the cancelled vouchers by crediting it directly into her (Lobito) account,” said an insider at Lekidi.
