In the meantime, the officials have agreed to hand over control to former national goalkeeper, Mooketsi 'China' Mading. The conditions of the impending privatisation are still being worked out. In a recent meeting to brief supporters, the management explained that it has been finding it difficult to run the club hence the decision to privatise. Publicity officer Mpenzeni Sambandawe told Mmegi Sport after the meeting that supporters agreed to the proposal.
"They appreciated where we are coming from and agreed to the change," he said. He explained that the supporters are aware that the club has been running on a shoe-string budget and players could go for months without pay. "My committee is fairly new and when we assumed office a few months ago, we found the team account with zero balance and on the other hand there were a lot of debts. I must admit that when we came in, there was no proper handover and there are no reports from the previous committee on how they were running the affairs of the club," he explained. He said they depend on gate takings to make ends meet. "It's a pathetic situation. That is why most often, I keep encouraging people to go to the stadium because that is how we make money to run the club," Sambandawe said.
