FRANCISTOWN: In response to the turmoil at the Botswana Football League (BFL), the Botswana National Sport Council (BNSC) has appointed a three-member commission to address the crisis, MmegiSport has learnt.

The BFL is ensnared in a web of discord. At the heart of the turmoil is a clash of wills between the shareholders and the chairman, Nicholas Zakhem.

“Yes, we have constituted a commission to work around the issues at the BFL and they have already started work,” BNSC communications manager, Anderson Nlisana said in an interview yesterday. He said the commission's findings will be made available to the media, ensuring transparency and accountability throughout the process.
