After a protected period of looking for a substantive CEO, Botswana Football Association (BFA) President Tebogo Sebego unleashed a Briton in Keith Masters. It was said his vast experience in football administration had tipped the scale in his favour. I remember the day he was introduced to the media as if it was yesterday. He cut a bold, confident figure here for business. He came across as a gentleman who appreciated that his work was cut out for him, but had confidence that he would do well.
He set out his goals and some of the words that came out of his mouth at that Press conference were 'financial prudence', 'commercialisation' and 'development'. I had hoped that finally we had identified someone who would steer the ship in the right direction as he was saying all the right things from the onset. He was definitely talking the talk, but was he to also walk the walk. Did he achieve what he had set out to do? Did he make any difference in his short stint at the helm of the BFA? Those are million dollar questions that we are all asking as Keith Masters vacates office.
