Botswana Football Association (BFA) president, Maclean Letshwiti has said there is no conflict of interest or lack of impartiality after he was recently appointed as Botswana Telecommunications Corporation (BTC) board chairperson. BTC sponsors the local league with the BFA, as the mother body, responsible for negotiating the deal.

Letshwiti said he did not find anything wrong with holding the dual roles after there were concerns that the arrangement is untidy.

“There is no conflict of interest. A consultant together with our marketing team handle sponsorship negotiations. Negotiations are done at operational level. What comes to the board is recommendations. I am volunteering on both sides with no financial benefit. People must show where the conflict of interest is,” Letshwiti said.
