Some clubs plan to stage a demonstration on Monday against the Botswana Football League (BFL) chairperson, Nicholas Zakhem, following recent leadership wrangles within the league body.

Disgruntled BFL shareholders took their grievances to the Minister of Youth, Gender, Sport and Culture, Tumiso Rakgare, complaining about Zakhem’s conduct. In turn, the minister reportedly ordered the Botswana National Sport Commission (BNSC) to address the dispute by next week Tuesday.

The shareholders told the minister, Zakhem was not cooperating with them particularly regarding the co-opting of board members following the recent resignation of some club officials. A source who attended the meeting said the minister directed the issue to the BNSC and that there should be an answer from the umbrella body by Tuesday.
