Mochudi Centre Chiefs are embarking on a bold transformation to eliminate membership interference and fully commercialise their operations.

Speaking to Sport Monitor on Monday, club chairperson, Victor Kobe, confirmed that Chiefs' general membership has passed a resolution to fully privatise the club.

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.
