BFA mum on Bondo’s return :: Mmegi Online

FRANCISTOWN: The Botswana Football Association (BFA) has said that it cannot comment on the future of highly-rated referee, Joshua Bondo. In April, CAF suspended Bondo along with other four local referees for six months.

The four were suspended for inaccurate reporting concerning a 2024 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier between Benin and Rwanda. Bondo got a six-month suspension which ended in October. Although the suspension did not involve domestic league matches, the BFA suspended Bondo from officiating local matches.

However, there are reports that the association is still not eager to reinstate him. It is alleged that Bondo was barred from taking part in a fitness test last week Saturday at Lekidi Football Centre as part of preparations for his return. “I would rather not comment on the matter and I am not aware if he was barred from any fitness test. For reinstatement, there are refereeing structures that will deal with the matter,” BFA CEO Mfolo Mfolo said in reaction to lifting Bondo’s suspension.
