This is despite the fact that BFA president Phillip Makgalemele denied the move over Radio Botswana (RB) earlier in the day (yesterday).
Stanley Tshosane, assisted by Kenneth Mogae, has replaced the Englishman. Speaking at a media briefing at the Lekidi Football Centre in Gaborone, Makgalemele said: "The BFA NEC (National Executive Committee) and Colwyn Rowe have mutually agreed that he shall cease his duties with immediate effect." The BFA boss told the gathering that the decision was taken for the common good of everyone involved. Makgalemele said the security of the coach was the major concern with the Madagascar game being the latest sign. After the goalless draw against the Indian Ocean islanders at the National Stadium, some supporters waited at the notorious Pandamatenga stand chanting anti-Rowe slogans. This prompted security personnel to whisk away the Briton through the western gate. This was the second time that Rowe had to be escorted out of the stadium. The first time was when Botswana played against Libya at the same venue last year.
