Chiefs move to reduce membership interference

Speaking to Sport Monitor on Monday, club chairperson, Victor Kobe, confirmed that Chiefs' general membership has passed a resolution to fully privatise the club. The move will see the Kgatleng side transition from a society-based structure into a shareholder-owned company. “The executive committee is preparing a draft manual on the transformation plan and the type of model to adopt, and the members want the committee to look into the model used by EPL teams, Chelsea and Man United, where the supporter or member does not interfere with the running of the club, but enjoys supporting the club, membership benefits among others,” said Kobe.

He said the executive committee had been granted permission to appoint a task force to immediately commence the process, which will culminate in a special meeting to adopt the draft transformation plan. “We have a case in Maun that we are hopeful will finish this year, and club’s debts are being mitigated by our partners. Latest report was that we are at 85% in debt performance. These are the only two major issues to clear off during this transformation process,” Kobe added.
