Police bust Phutego in ticket scandal

Friday, February 21, 2014

ownship Rollers’ managing director Phuthego Setete has been implicated in the ongoing ticket scandal after ticket stubs and old web tickets were found in his office on Tuesday.

Police raided the Rollers office on Tuesday after a tip-off that Phutego and a Botswana Premier League (BPL) official (name withheld) were conniving to sell extra tickets and share the proceeds. He was found with unaccounted tickets from the Rollers-ECCO City Greens Premier League game played on December 21, 2013.

Information reaching Mmegi Sport is that Rollers requested extra tickets ahead of that game as they anticipated it would attract a bigger crowd since it was their last of the year.
