A normal BFA is abnormal

At times, we subconsciously accept the abnormal as normal. The Botswana Football Association (BFA) once again took its usual spot at the podium of controversies with reports of financial irregularities involving nearly P9million.

It’s nothing out of the usual. A highly volatile and political atmosphere permeates the walls of Lekidi Centre with unerring regularity.

It’s a place of (long) knives and a lot of stabbing and back-stabbing. Zero balance, misappropriation of funds and internecine fights have become welcome companions at BFA. The ruckus, the bickering and negative publicity have also become acceptable hallmarks. It is an enduring legacy that has stood the taste of time.

A financially health and a squabble-free BFA, is like an elephant on top of a tree. Something has to give and true to form, it does give. A normal BFA is abnormal. If there is no public scandal, know that there is something brewing behind the scenes.
