A high-powered Botswana delegation, including BFA president, Tebogo Sebego and Premier League Chief Executive Officer, Bernard Mamelodi, met SuperSport's top officials, and made headway on the deal. However, the RP Productions saga remains a stumbling block, according to the broadcaster.
The two parties dismissed the speculated P12 million deal, saying the meetings majorly addressed the nitty gritties of the deal. SuperSport's head of acquisitions and legal, Brandon Foot sounded overly positive about the outcome of the meetings, saying good foundations were laid for the future. "We had a very good meeting with the Botswana people, it was constructive and very honest. It was good to meet the people we have only been talking to on the phone and by email face to face. We have got a very good foundation for the future," Foot said. He added the upshot of the discussion was that they would continue talking. "Our discussions will be on going. Nothing concrete in terms of finalising anything yet, but as I said we laid some good foundation, we will keep on talking on an on going basis."
