Kaizer Chiefs boss accused of bad dealings around construction of a 2010 Football World Cup stadium - report

Kaizer Chiefs football manager Bobby Motaung was arrested by the Hawks today, according to Mzansi Football and KickOff.com.

Although details remain sketchy, Motaung stands accused of forgery and fraud in relation to his role in the construction of the Mbombela Stadium ahead of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. He was the executive director of Lefika Emerging Equity, which was appointed as manager of the Mbombela Stadium, according to a Sowetan report. [Click here to read our report]

The details of the case against him have yet to be made public.

The Hawks, in their statement, was playing mum on Motaung: All they would say was that two men were arrested today for alleged fraud relating to the building of the Mbombela Stadium in Mpumalanga.

“We have arrested two men, one in Naturena and one in Cape Town.

“We are looking for the third suspect,” Sapa quoted Hawks spokesman Colonel McIntosh Polela as saying.

He said the men were arrested on allegations that they forged SA Revenue Services (Sars) documents to obtain a contract to build the Mbombela Stadium.
