Gilport Lions chairperson and owner, Kelesitse Gilika is fuming over reports that his club is in talks with Mochudi Centre Chiefs over the sale of their Botswana Premier League (BPL) status. 

Reports have suggested that Gilika has been offered a sum amounting to P1.5 million by the Kgatleng giants bosses in a deal that will see Chiefs taking up Lions' status in the elite league with the latter dropping down to the lower division.

"It is utter disrespect for me and the club as a whole. Why would people suggest that Gilport is for sale? It is because it is the only Motswana-owned football company? I do not know why people say that I am selling; well I am not selling the club. I am running a project here and I would not be selling anytime soon to anyone who comes along," an aggravated Gilika told Monitor Sport. He further said the reports have destabilised his club and went on to threaten legal action.
