Premier League clubs' demand for a meeting which would have seen them push for the removal of Botswana Football League (BFL) chairperson, Nicholas Zakhem and board member, Jagdish Shah has been declared unprocedural.

The fall-out emanates from a decision to gradually reduce Premier League teams from 16 to 12. As a result, the clubs wrote the BFL secretariat requesting a shareholders meeting.
