Motlogelwa PIC: MORERI SEJAKGOMO

First Division North (FDN) chairperson, Mpenzeni Sambandawe has come out all guns blazing on Botswana Football Association (BFA) second vice president, Marshlow Motlogelwa over a contentious audit, which reveals some irregularities.

Sambandawe told Mmegi Sport this week that he felt the ‘brouhaha’ over the FDN audit was nothing but Motlogelwa’s vendetta against his committee. He said they are not the only committee who had been audited.  “Other regions have been audited but we are not hearing anything about them. We are not the only ones with flaws. It is unfortunate that these things are being said about us, but we have not received the audited report. There are internal processes that should be followed,” he said. Sambandawe said he is wondering about the authenticity of the audit, calling it questionable. He said Motlogelwa should engage instead of threatening them.

Sambandawe said they are aware that BFA president, Maclean Letshwiti is a corporate person and wants to put things in order.  “There was a point when the VP failed to submit financials. Nobody made noise about it. He was given time to put his house in order and we want the same privilege extended to us,” Sambandawe said. Three committee members; Mompati Ketlogetswe (treasurer), Rapula Gaothobogwe (secretary general) and Sambandawe were given up to October 2 to account for the discrepancies in the audit report.
