Thank You Mr BFA President But Not Enough

This past week, the Botswana Football Association (BFA) President Tebogo Sebego shocked the footballing community further with another own-goal type of decision-making when he sacked the entire Premier League Board, apparently for their own unending soap opera of pathetic and calamitous decision-makings that have been dragging the local game from one hell of a disaster to another.

Things have been going downhill for the Sebego administration from day one  in the office, when his critics accused him of allegely favouring his faction, Friends of Football with certain responsibilities. With more and more talk of  poor management at the top level, it was only a matter of time before the problems manifested themselves in the flagship league.

The lower leagues had their own fair share of  controversies and scandals, but the unfolding of the mother of all scandals in the Premier League before the eyes of the BFA leadership, Sebego in particular, marked the worst sporting moment ever in the history of this country. Just why would BFA leadership choose fence-sitting when calamity unfolded in a big way like it did in the Premier League.
