BPL general manager Phuthego Setete said the meeting will go ahead in Palapye next Saturday. The first meeting ended prematurely after the BPL failed to furnish the delegates with a copy of the minutes of the previous assembly while the financial report arrived late.

At one stage, the Premier League Committee (PLC) chairperson Mike Molefhe threatened to take action against Setete after the general assembly postponement.

Meanwhile, in a bid to expedite dispute resolution, the BPL invited South Africa Premier Soccer League prosecutor, Zola Majavu to share his experiences last week.

Setete said after the BPL set up a prosecutor's office recently, it was felt that they could benefit from Majavu's visit. The PSL prosecutor was in the country last Tuesday and Wednesday.

'We wanted to see what we could learn from them. He was impressed with what he saw, particularly the fact that we have set up a Disciplinary Committee (DC) and the office of the prosecutor,' Setete said.

He said it is prudent for the BPL to benchmark on South Africa, which speedily resolves cases.

'We have agreed that we need to move expeditiously on cases. We must regulate our DC in terms of how we operate. Our charges need to be tabulated so that teams are aware of the fines. All this will enhance the dispensing of justice,' Setete said.
