BOKA had no option on Tshikare

The two are on a 12-month contract. Tshikare was previously in charge and was, according to sources, among chief instigators who attempted to influence other coaches to resign over unpaid allowances when Botswana hosted the 2019 UFAK tournament. “Tshikare was amongst the coaches who were influencing other coaches to resign. The plan was for the coaches to write resignation letters and hand them to a senior BOKA official who would then tear off Tshikare resignation letter.

This would then had seen Tshikare and one other coach take over the senior team (after the resignation of other coaches),” a source said. The source further revealed that unfortunately when Tshikare and Jones arrived at BOKA office to handover their letters, they instead found BOKA president, Tshepho Bathai who, much to the duo's dismay, accepted the resignations.
