Gunners postpone elective AGM

The outgoing committee took over after the ousting of the previous regime led by Tariq Babitseng. But the club, in a statement yesterday, said the meeting will only go ahead on August 7, as the present COVID-19 situation did not permit the holding of the meeting tomorrow.

Gunners saw a forced leadership change after the previous committee left following a fallout with some sections of the supporters as well as the players for constantly failing to meet financial obligations. The fallout paved the way for the arrival of the current leadership headed by chairperson, George Kerekang and his vice, Ian Kebopetswe. The next AGM is expected to present the Gunners fans with an opportunity for a fresh start. Despite a huge following, the Peleng giants have been struggling to exert themselves because of their financial deficiencies. There have been unfruitful talks of commercialising the club in the past. Like many other clubs, nothing concrete has come out as yet and the financial struggles have led to an exodus of quality players and coaches to other big guns.
