The mis-allocated funds, which were meant for FIFA sanctioned projects amount to P6 million. The money was diverted to fund internal operations of the association.

Sources this week said if Motlogelwa does not resign, the BFA NEC will move a motion to suspend him at an emergency meeting that will be called anytime from next week when BFA president Maclean Letshwiti returns from the AFCON tournament in Cameroon. Motlogelwa’s role as the supervisor of BFA finances is not constitutional but he was given the task to oversee the association’s finances by virtue of his financial background. He is a qualified chartered account. “There has been so much speculation about me resigning or being suspended. I have no reason to resign.
