Some club members under the region, said the failure to hand over the office was affecting the smooth running of regional affairs. The situation where some clubs failed to pay annual subscription fees was attributed to what is obtaining at the office.Teams like No Mathata of Selebi-Phikwe and Peace Makers from Bobonong, both in the First Division and Serule based Gosten FC that play in Division Two, suffered the fate of Police XI and Security systems by having their membership scrapped, although the decision has reportedly been rescinded.
"We once enquired why the handover cannot be effected only to be told that the names of the newly appointed treasurer and secretary have been handed over to ITC to investigate their financial status and we want to know if this has been the procedure even in the past," one member queried. They also said after realising the need to meet with the regional committee they convened a meeting to make necessary preparations before the league commences, but the regional committee led by Tebro Onkabetse could not attend. "We ended up distributing fixtures to the teams because they have to thoroughly scrutinise them 21 days before the league starts. We suspect foul play by the outgoing committee," they said.Contacted for comment, Onkabetse said the responsibility to distribute fixtures lies with the league committees not the regional committee.
