"This is serious KK [Kitso Kemoeng]; bring those documents in the next executive meeting. If you do not have them, then you will have to go hunting for them," BNSC chairperson Daniel Tau told Kemoeng at the council's Ordinary General Meeting last Thursday. On hearing this, Kemoeng did not say anything but burst into laughter.
The incident arose after a representative of Department of Sports and Recreation (DSR) Elizabeth Kenosi-Masokwane said the BNSC was involved in meetings to plan for the constituency leagues. Kenosi-Masokwane was responding to Tau's earlier claims that he did not know much about the leagues as BNSC was not involved in their conception and implementation. BNSC affiliates had wanted Tau to say when the constituency leagues were going to be reviewed. They complained that the constituency leagues, a brainchild of President Ian Khama, were crippling national leagues. They said players leave the national leagues to join the lucrative constituencies because of the incentives. In reply, Tau said they have not made headway even on the rare occasions they tried to engage the Ministry of Sports over the constituency leagues. He said suggestions from BNSC are never taken into consideration by the ministry.
