Controversy
After Uganda withdrew from the 2004 African Women's Championship qualification prior the preliminary round matches against Malawi, Mbekeka and fellow Ugandan footballer Annet Nakimbugwe moved abroad.[9] Being in the Democratic Republic of the Congo,[10] they were naturalized there as Oliva Amani and Annette Nshimire, respectively, and represented the country at the 2006 FIFA U-20 Women's World Championship.[9] She ended up playing for the DR Congo at senior level during the 2006 African Women's Championship.[11][12][13]
Managerial career
Mbekeka has coached Lady Doves Masindi in Uganda and the Uganda women's national under-20 football team.[14][6]
