Kgotlele, Kraai mum after BFA expose

The Minister of Youth, Sport and Culture, Shaw Kgathi shocked journalists on Tuesday when he revealed that the BFA has been misleading the nation into thinking that the world football governing body, FIFA, is about to suspend the country because of the constituency tournaments. Instead, FIFA was threatening to report the association to the Leagues' Committee for failure to provide evidence that the tournaments contravene its rules and regulations.

The controversial tournaments are the brainchild of President Ian Khama. They have been drawing criticism from football authorities and politicians arguing it is the president's way of gaining political mileage.
