FORMER Banyana Banyana captain is in hot water.
Amanda Dlamini was arrested in Douglasdale, north of Joburg after she was allegedly
caught exceeding the speed limit.
“There was chaos there at Douglasdale. There’re always those police who want to be
known that they are in charge, but it was resolved. They asked me for R15 000 for bribery
and I did not pay, and I felt like they were scaring me,” she said.
Amanda is a football analyst for SuperSport.
She captained the national team at the 2012 Summer Olympics and was also part of the
squad for the 2016 edition. At club level, Amanda played for Durban Ladies and UJ
Ladies.
Her senior national team debut came in 2007 during an Olympic qualier against
Nigeria.
Amanda was instrumental in Banyana’s success at the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations
championship, helping the team secure bronze in 2010 and silver in 2012.
She founded the Amanda Dlamini Girls Foundation, aiming to provide basic help to girls
in rural areas.
Gauteng police spokeswoman Colonel Dimakatso Nevhuhulwi said: “As per the case
number you provided, that is a reckless and negligence case, and the suspect is
expected to appear in court soon.
“With regard to allegations of bribe, the suspect is urged to lay a formal complaint
against the alleged ofcers so that an investigation into the matter can be conducted
