The Premier League is my only failure- Letshwiti :: Mmegi Online

Amid rising concerns over the state of the country’s elite league, the BTC Premiership, Botswana Football Association (BFA) president, Maclean Letshwiti this week accepted blame and promised swift repair works, as a restive football family keeps an eagle eye. In this interview, Letshwiti tells Mmegi Sport Staff Writer, MQONDISI DUBE, the rot at the Botswana Premier League is a culmination of a wrong approach to the administration of the league competition

Botswana Football Association (BFA) president, Maclean Letshwiti was candid in his admission in the wake of a damaging press statement, reminding BTC Premiership clubs of the absence of prize money at the end of the season.

Letshwiti has acknowledged that his administration has let the guard down regarding the running of the elite league.
He said the structure is skewed as the national association should not run the league, citing examples of South Africa, England and Zambia.
While he said he is not trying to shift the blame, he traces the genesis of the rot to as far back as 2012, or even beyond.
