Mmegi: What is your background as a sport leader?
Tiego Kesebonye Rabashwa: Well, I started off with Tlokweng United Football Club as an administrator. I was a bit hesitant when they approached me because I had never played the sport. I think that is the biggest mistake we make to think that if you have not played a sport you cannot administer it. Sometimes we make someone a manager because he was a good player, but that does not necessarily mean he has the skills to run a football team. Amazingly, my stint with Tlokweng United was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. I discovered a lot about administrating sport.
Mmegi: How then did you end up in squash?
TK: A friend of mine kept persuading me to play squash for about three years and I was refusing. Ultimately, I took up the game and saw so much potential. I got there after the last Under 19 Africa Junior Championships that we hosted. I realized there were no structures, no one was taking young players to competition and management was so dysfunctional. I decided to go and help, I ran a few tournaments.
