The Botswana Football Association (BFA) will beef up its legal punch following moves to engage law firms and a full time legal advisor. This is an addition to the availability of a part time legal advisor, Onkabetse Pusoentsi.

The association ran an advert seeking the provision of legal services from reputable law firms. BFA chief executive officer, Kitso Kemoeng said they are looking to appoint between two and three law firms. “We need a resident legal advisor in addition to a pool of law firms which can assist with legal services. Everyday we are confronted with legal issues and our legal adviser is occupied elsewhere. We need somebody internally, who will also save the association money. The external services will be engaged as and when needed,” he said.

Additionally, the BFA is in the hunt for a marketing company or individual to hold fort in the interim. The BFA marketing and communications officer, Phakamile Kraai left last year.
