BFA affiliates must refuse to be bought

The gloves are off as the race for the Botswana Football Association presidency starts in earnest. For now, we only know that the incumbent Tebogo Sebego is standing. His challenger is known. What is clear and interesting is supposedly the criss-crossing between the two rival camps.

Others do it for principled reasons while others are simply opportunists who are taking advantage of the situation. What is clear though is that grassroot development has not been given prominence by the Sebego led administration. That however is not my main gripe; my major concern is that football is getting more and more polarised along factional lines.

Under Sebego’s presidency, things have gone from bad to worse as far as factionalism is concerned. This perhaps is one thing Sebego ought to look at and correct should he get re-elected. In the past, I have decried and I still say I detest the method of voting as affiliates have allowed themselves to be bought and be used hence football is perpetually in a state of coma or going round in a vicious circle.
