Before a packed Lekidi Football Centre auditorium on Wednesday, June 20, 2018, then newly appointed Botswana Football Association (BFA) technical director, Serame Letsoaka made a firm commitment that was never fulfilled.

Letsoaka, who had just signed a three-year contract, promised to alleviate the shortage of qualified local coaches. At the time, Botswana had only three CAF A licence holders in Philemon Makwengwe, Ben Kgomela, and Losika ‘Six’ Keatlholetswe.

The country had no Pro-Licence holders then. Four years later, the status quo remains; still three CAF A licence holders and no local coach with a Pro-Licence. Letsoaka expressed his concern that Botswana had only three CAF A licence holders while no one has the Pro-Licence.
