The beMOBILE Premier League under the microscope

If there is one person who has seen the transition of the Botswana Premier League (BPL) from its previous status to the current one is former general manager Phuthego Setete. Setete was at the helm of the country's elite league from 2009 until last year. He had served the league since 2005 when he joined as secretary until 2008 when he was appointed acting general manager before being confirmed the following year. Setete's major task, according to then premier league board was to turn the league fully professional by 2012.

The soft-spoken administrator told Mmegi Sport that he has seen the league reach greater heights following the arrival of be MOBILE, before a notable decline that continues to this day. He said was a time when the standard of the league experienced tremendous growth. He singled out the first two seasons of the be MOBILE Premier League, the 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 as some of the best seasons.
