About Bantu Football Club
Brief history of Bantu FootBall Club
Bantu F.C. was formed in 1927 as Flying Sweeps of Mafeteng and later renamed
Bantu F.C. The founders were the then district Commissioner Button in
Consultation with the four Principal Chiefs of Mafeteng.
The team was given the name Bantu after it was alleged that the first tribes to
arrive in the district were Matebele hence the chiefs had to rule different
tribes and clans which were all the Bantu speaking people. Thus, the rationale
behind the name was meant to unite all the tribes in Mafeteng.
The team has always been regarded as a district number one priority in Mafeteng
district. Over the years it has strived to be one of the top football brands in
Lesotho and some other parts of Southern Africa as evident from both local and
international accolades conferred. The traditional colours of Bantu are black
and gold which are the celebrated colours of Mafeteng district. The team is
nicknamed A Mats’o Matebele and its supporters Makaota. Home stadium is
Leshoboro Seeiso Sports Complex in Mafeteng, alternative stadiums are Setsoto
and Maputsoe DiFA in Maseru and Leribe respectively.
