BFA investigat­es southern region

-

“At this moment we haven’t engaged our treasure, we have met as the committee to assess the situation. There are two ways to this, if our preliminar­y investigat­ions show that there has been misuse of funds or we get a confession it will lead us on how to deal with the matter, but if we don’t find anything, we will engage auditors to help us establish facts on what could have happened,” the chairman revealed.

Contrary to circulatin­g rumors that the chairman has handed his resignatio­n as a result of the matter, Kafeka has vehemently dismissed the allegation­s and reiterated his commitment to continue serving in his position.

“I’m still the chairman of the region and I’ve been in a meeting that I was chairing, so there is no truths in those allegation­s. I’m still a member of SOFRA, nothing has changed,” he shared.

Maclean Letshwiti, the BFA president has recently vowed to put his house in order and this extend to regions who are currently under the watchful eye of the local football top office.

Still on matters relating to financial embezzleme­nt, the FIFA delegation which last week completed their investigat­ions on the BFA have since reported that, there was indeed misallocat­ion of funds at Lekidi offices.

The BFA wrote to FIFA following reports of misuse of finances, a matter that subsequent­ly led to the

Chief Executive Officer, Goabaone Taylor being shown the exit doors; despite investigat­ions being at their infancy stages.

Although the four FIFA delegates, which included former BFA president David Fani, absolved the associatio­n from any misuse of funds, close reports suggest that the FIFA findings are unlikely to exonerate Taylor from accusation­s leveled against her and will not be reinstated as the CEO.

Just a little over eight ( 8) into the post, the former CEO will reportedly undergo a disciplina­ry hearing for misallocat­ion of funds, although in some instances her actions were justifiabl­e, it appears that there has been a political ‘ witch- hunt’ to have her out of Lekidi offices.
