The Botswana Football Association (BFA) has received a report from a committee which was tasked with investigating a leaked audio suggesting possibilities of match-fixing in the local game.

According to a press statement released this evening, the BFA said it commissioned a committee to among others, ‘investigate the nature of the audio clip being a recorded conversation between BFA’s general manager Mr Monnakgotla Mojaki and Mr Joshua Bondo. Whether there was an attempt to bribe or influence a match official or to match fix.”

The press statement further states that the committee was to also investigate whether there are grounds to conclude that Mojaki , who was slapped with a suspension following the leaked audio, has breached his condition of service and to “advise whether Mr Mojaki’s conduct constitutes misconduct and if so, whether he should be referred to a disciplinary enquiry.”
