Kaizer Chiefs’ Boss Faces Corruption Charges

Kaizer Chiefs general manager Bobby Motaung has been
arrested on allegations of fraud and forgery, along with two other men.

The charges relate to the building of a 2010 World Cup stadium
in South Africa.

Kaizer Chiefs, the 11-time South African champions, said
Motaung appeared in court Thursday in the northern city of Nelspruit alongside
businessman Herbert Theledi.

A third man was in custody in Cape Town and will be
transferred to Nelspruit.

McIntosh Polela, spokesman for South Africa’s economic and
organized crime unit, said the men are accused of using a forged tax document
in winning a $17m contract to help build the Mbombela Stadium.

The stadium cost a total of $145m and hosted four games at
the World Cup.

Motaung is the son of Kaizer Chiefs chairman and founder
Kaizer Motaung.
