Botswana National Sports Council (BNSC) chairperson, Solly Reikeletseng has condemned politicians for trying to gain mileage from the raging constituency tournaments saga. Reikeletseng said politicians should leave sports matters to sports people and focus on matters, which could uplift the lives of citizens.

He said the current state of affairs has the potential to adversely affect discussions on the matter with key stakeholders. Recently politicians have been engaged in accusations and counter-accusations following FIFA’s ultimatum to Botswana to run the constituency tournaments through Botswana Football Association (BFA) or face sanctions.
