Maokaneng’s return: the good and the bad

Like many other football politicians around him, he has swung like a pendulum from this side to the other. He was pro-Maclean Letshwiti in 2016, before aligning with Tebogo Sebego in 2020.

These frequent switches are a regularity, not only in football but in national politics, where they carry nice sounding names like defection and floor-crossing. Bontshetse has always been an integral part of local football politics and has evolved into what some call a king maker. ‘Max’ as he is fondly known in football circles, returns to the BFA at a time when the election fever is fast catching up at Lekidi Football Centre.
