Battle hardened Reikeletseng has no regrets

Mmegi Sport: Please sum up your three-year tenure?

Reikeletseng:  As I come to the end of my tenure, I have no regrets whatsoever. In fact I leave the place smiling. When I came in, small talk, bickering and back-biting affected me a lot until I learnt to focus on the ball and deliver on the mandate that I was given. What gave me motivation is that I was not given a chance, people thought I will fail but I remained focused. With the team I assembled, we managed to prove people wrong. There are so many policies I implemented that benefit all the players in sport. The incentive package benefits athletes. We have policies that benefit administrators. One setback was failure to find a solution to problem of teachers’ participation in sports activities. I don’t think we have found a common ground for teachers who are key players. The problem is that it became a political issue. As a former teacher myself, I feel I failed my colleagues.
