Season kicks-off despite unresolved Notwane matter

The matter is before the Botswana Football Association (BFA) Disciplinary Committee (DC). The club filed an urgent application in the High Court in an attempt to prevent their play-off match against FC Satmos from going ahead in June. The court dismissed the matter and the game proceeded at the Serowe Sports Complex which saw Notwane lose 4-6 and demoted to the First Division.

First Division South chairperson, Sam Keitireng said they could not wait for the matter to be resolved as it has dragged on for too long. He said when BFA structures make decisions, they must consider implications to other clubs. Keitireng said it is expensive for teams to train without playing games. He said Notwane has been included in the fixtures and it is expected to play this weekend.  The Botswana Football Association (BFA) president, Tebogo Sebego told Mmegi Sport yesterday that there is nothing stopping Notwane from playing.
