New First Division chairman outlines priorities

Newly-elected First Division South chairperson, Tariq Babitseng has said getting a fully-fledged secretariat to facilitate the smooth running of the competition will be one of his priorities.

Babitseng was voted into office three weeks ago to replace long-serving Charles Chilisa.  He said his main priority is to get sponsorship for the league. He stated that his committee believes that getting full time employees to run the league will make it easy to impress potential sponsors. "Getting a sponsor is top of our priority but we have agreed as a committee that for this league to go forward, there is a serious need to establish a fully-fledged administration office to take care of the daily running of the league. Otherwise it would continue to be a pipe dream to think that we could grow. Proper communication structures need to be developed where clubs and all stakeholders would have easy access to information and services," Babitseng said.

The chairman is optimistic about the chances of improving the league's status saying they are blessed to have people who are knowledgeable in running football. He said that his committee needs to establish a good working relationship with clubs such that they are aware of what the administration is doing.
