BSA recently received a P300, 000 sponsorship from Shell and have vowed they would avoid anything that may jeopardise the deal. Speaking on the sidelines of Saturday's official start of the new league season, the association's president, Marumo Morule, said they had addressed clubs about the issue of sponsorships and some were unhappy with their decision to bar some potential sponsors. "We won't accept a club wearing a uniform branded in a competitor's logo unless they have been wearing the same uniform, which comes from an organisation directly involved in the running of the team. It's a decision we've taken and clubs are well aware of it.
Some clubs had a problem with it but that's a decision we've taken," Morule told Mmegi Sport. He feels some clubs are trying to use the current sponsorship deal to entice the sponsor's direct competitors."We don't want a situation whereby a club will use the current sponsorship as a bait to woo a competitor to sponsor them. Why target a competitor? I would then detect something sinister," Morule said.
