MANZINI – Prominent football administra­tor and Tambankulu Callies Director Sithembiso ‘Ngudze’ Mamba is alleged to have defrauded another of E164 700 for the purchase of a car in South Africa.

It is said the 41-year-old reportedly misreprese­nted himself to Nkhundla Abel Mamba and obtained the aforementi­oned money.

This reportedly happened in Manzini on August 12, last year.

‘Ngudze’ appeared before Manzini Acting Magistrate Thamsanqa Ndlovu yesterday, facing a charge of theft by false pretences.

The accused, upon having his rights to legal representa­tion explained, elected to seek the services of an attorney.

He was granted bail fixed at E15 000. He was remanded until March

LONDON – Egyptian police said yesterday they recovered a silver medal, which was stolen from the home of Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah.

The theft took place on March 2 and police were able to identify the two thieves, including a former security guard in the residentia­l complex, the Ministry of Interior added in a statement.

All the stolen goods were seized, which include a silver medal, a number of sports shoes and TV receivers.

A security source confirmed to Reuters that the player intended in the statement was Salah.

The photo, published by the police on Facebook, showed that the silver medal was for the African Cup of Nations.

Salah finished on the losing side in both the 2017 and 2021 Cup of Nations finals.

Egypt captain Salah (30) is due to visit his home country next week as he will lead the national team in a double-header against Malawi in African Cup of Nations qualifying, a home game on March 24 and the away match four days later.

Salah last week became Liverpool’s all-time top scorer in the Premier League with 129 goals.
