Poor Masters; victim of BFA internal wars

A lot has been reported and said recently about the troubles besieging the Botswana Football Association (BFA) Chief Executive Keith Masters and his alleged misdemeanours. Almost everyone had a say on the issue. Thinking about it; I actually thought the issue is way bigger than this one incident; the issue is not actually what Keith Masters did, but is all about the BFA in-fighting and the fact that some people wanted to embarrass him. And to a large extent they did success.

The BFA has always been in the news for all the wrong reasons and my guess is that the internal politics are now playing out in the public arena. It seems like everyone within the BFA is trying to make the next person out to be a bad person. And this time around, the target was one Keith Masters. For me, this smacks right on a witch-hunt and a well-orchestrated set–up that achieved what it was set out to achieve.

I’m no God, and I won’t pretend to be self-righteous and judge Keith Masters. Well, we all do something ‘immoral’ at one point or another in our lives but here we are trying to play God and judge him. I’m pretty certain 90% of people reading this have at one point or another watched some pornography or own some kind of pornographic material on their mobile phones, DVDs or even in their laptops. Yes, we might not watch it in the office, but we have watched it. Yes, we might not watch it during working hours, but we do watch it.
