Investigations Report on Allegations of Match Fixing

Jun 20, 2023

Botswana Football Association has received a report on allegations of match fixing.

BFA had on the 24^th April 2023 commissioned a committee to investigate allegations of match fixing levelled against some of its employees.

The terms of reference of the committee included:

Investigate the nature of the audio clip being a recorded conversation between BFA’s General Manager Mr Monnakgotla Mojaki and Mr Joshua Bondo, in particular whether there was an attempt to bribe or influence a match official or to match fix.
Investigate whether there are grounds to conclude that Mr Mojaki has breached the BFA Condition of service and workplace Policies.

Advise whether Mr Mojaki’s conduct constitutes misconduct and if so, whether he should be referred to a disciplinary enquiry.

Investigate whether match fixing is prevalent and if it is, advise how BFA can resolve this.

The investigations committee which was made up of three people has now completed those investigation and have submitted a report to BFA.

By this public statement, the BFA wishes to acknowledge the report. We will be studying the report before deciding our next course of action.

As BFA we would like to take this opportunity profusely thank the investigating committee for their service to the nation and to Botswana football.

Ramoreboli Names Final Zebras Squad For World Cup Qualifiers

The Botswana national football team, “The Zebras”, are gearing up for their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign with head coach Morena Ramoreboli announcing his final 26-man squad ahead of the crucial fixtures against Algeria and Somalia.

The Zebras will continue their journey towards securing a spot at the 2026 FIFA World Cup with two important matches scheduled for later this month. They will face Algeria on March 21, 2025, followed by a clash with Somalia on March 25, 2025.

Ramoreboli had previously named an expanded provisional squad of 49 players last month as part of his preparations for the World Cup qualifiers. This final selection brings the squad down to 26 players, who will now look to deliver on the road to the World Cup Finals, to be held next year in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Among the notable inclusions in the squad are Theo Shadikong, a midfielder from TAFIC, and Kemoneetswe Mmangwedi, a defender also from TAFIC. Both players are receiving their first call-ups to the senior team. Another exciting addition is Reneilwe Batlokwa, a midfielder who plays in England for Maldo and Tiptree.

With these fresh faces, Ramoreboli’s squad brings a blend of experience and new talent, as Botswana aims to build momentum in the 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign.

The final 26-man squad is as follows:
