Lesotho Didn’t Report South Africa to FIFA for Cheating – LFA Secretary-General
The Secretary-General of the Lesotho Football Association (LFA), Mokhosi Mohapi, has clarified that the LFA did not officially protest against South Africa for fielding an ineligible player in their recent 2026 World Cup qualifying match. Despite the lack of formal protest, Mohapi stressed the need for FIFA to fairly interpret its regulations.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The Incident:
South Africa fielded Teboho Mokoena against Lesotho despite his suspension, as he had received two yellow cards in previous qualifiers. South Africa won the match 2-0, but the oversight could cost them three points if FIFA takes action.
Challenges with Protest:
Lesotho did not file a protest within the stipulated timeframe (2 to 24 hours after the game). Mohapi hopes FIFA will enforce its own rules since Mokoena’s suspension should have been automatic under Article 8.3.
Potential Consequences:
If FIFA rules against South Africa, the team could lose three points, affecting their position in Group C. Currently, South Africa leads with five points, while Nigeria’s Super Eagles are fourth with seven points after six games.
Fairness Emphasized:
Mohapi emphasized the importance of fair play and noted that any support from the Nigeria Football Federation should not overshadow Lesotho’s primary goal of fair competition.

The Presidency has taken the Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB) out of the supervision of the Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development and placed the agency under its direct control.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The decision, approved by President Bola Tinubu on March 5, 2026, was communicated to the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, for immediate implementation on March 11, 2026.
As part of the directive, the Attorney-General of the Federation has been tasked with amending the Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau Establishment Act 2022 to reflect the new administrative arrangement. The proposed amendments are to be forwarded to the National Assembly for legislative approval.
The NSIB, established under Act No. 35 of 2022, replaced the former Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB), which previously handled only aviation accident investigations.
Unlike the AIB, the NSIB has a broader mandate, covering accident investigations across multiple modes of transportation, including air, marine, rail, and tracked vehicle systems, making it Nigeria’s only multimodal accident investigation authority.
Following the NSIB’s removal from its supervision, the Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development now oversees five agencies:
-
Nigerian College of Aviation Technology
-
Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority
-
Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria
-
Nigerian Meteorological Agency
-
Nigerian Airspace Management Agency
