Plot to oust BFA leadership

Reflective of simmering factional wars in the Botswana Football Association (BFA), some disgruntled individuals are planning to oust the National Executive Committee (NEC) during tomorrow's general assembly. A document, entitled 'Need for change at the BFA NEC', has been circulated to regions, calling for a change in the leadership during the assembly. The concerned members argue that the current leadership has failed football.

"We intercepted a letter that calls for a change in the leadership. It does not say how this will be achieved.Apparently a group of individuals has been talking to the regions asking them to pass a vote of no confidence in the BFA leadership," BFA president, David Fani, told Mmegi Sport last night. He fingered certain individuals, among them, former Gaborone United (GU) chairman, Horatio 'Chippa' Mahloane, as one of the people behind the planned 'coup'.
