BONA, South Zone clear league confusion

BONA and the zonal committee were at loggerheads over who should run the league, which led to delays in completing the season. BONA secretary-general, Mmaneke Maplanka had written to clubs in the south informing them that the national executive committee (NEC) was taking over the running of the league. But clubs wrote back to Maplanka indicating they were not amused with the executive committee's action.

They argued the BONA committee wanted to take over the completion of the league because the zonal committee did not have funds. “We find the action not in order as it goes against structural and constitutional stipulations of BONA. The constitution clearly states that the running of the league shall be entrusted to the zonal league committee. Clubs relate directly with the zonal league committee as far as communication and other pertinent matters as the constitution indicates,” the letter reads.
