A deadlock in the adoption of a new constitution amongst Botswana Football League (BFL) members has caused a delay in the start of the 2023-2024 season which is now expected to kick off in October.

The new season was supposed to kick off on the weekend of September 16 but the BFL General Assembly decided to push the start dates to the weekend of October 7.

The teams will wait for a further three weeks and once again, a late start looms. “It comes to the fore that the recent BFL General Assembly held on September 2, could not adopt in time some key documents, which are instrumental in guarding the organisation forward. As a result, a Special General Assembly will be held on September 22, 2023, to amongst other things, adopt the new BFL constitution,” a statement from BFL reads.

‘Fake’ drugs: A matter of life, truth and accountability

Even the Ombudsman has confirmed receipt of a report from a political party and a review of these complaints is now underway. That is a necessary first step. But it is only the beginning. The seriousness of the allegations demands urgency, transparency and clarity. The public is entitled to...
