BDF XI has refuted allegations that they have captured Gaborone United's (GU) young exciting midfielder, Molatedi Mabina. BDF XI spokesperson Spencer Kesebonye told Mmegi Sport yesterday that they have not registered any player since the transfer window opened.

He explained that Mabina joined Botswana Defence Force (BDF) and not the BDF XI. He added that people should distinguish between BDF as an army and BDF XI as a football club. He said that just like any other person, Mabina applied for the officer cadet job and later got short-listed for interviews and medical examinations, which he eventually passed. "It is untrue that Mabina is our player. As far as we are concerned, he is still a GU player.

We know the procedure of recruiting players and we would not get players from other teams by offering them jobs like people are thinking," he said. Kesebonye further explained that the BDF has a body that is appointed by the commander to oversee issues like recruitments for the army, adding that it is an independent body that no one could interfere with. "We, as BDF XI, have no influence about who this body should hire," he told Mmegi Sport.
