After a brief pause, BFL feud heads into round two

BFL chairperson Sipho Showa and his board are still standing despite a hurricane forecast heading into the shareholders' gathering at Lekidi Centre. Predictions of a swift fall of the board appeared to have been off the mark as Showa and his board lived to see another day. In fact, as the BFL prepares for its annual gathering next week, Showa is still holding firm.

However, indications are that the fight is far from over; rather, the BFL AGM will be used as round two of the feud. It is unclear who will emerge victorious after some shareholders' coup d'état hit a cul-de-sac due to the absence of constitutional provisions for a motion of no confidence. They will go again next week, sources say. Reports are that Showa and the board are emboldened by constitutional gaps over a motion to remove the board.
