Mochudi Centre Chiefs’ spokesperson, Boraro Moseki, has said although they cannot entirely blame early on-field struggles on the ongoing boardroom wrangle, it does play some role.

Magosi started the Debswana First Division South league on a rough patch, collecting only one point in their first three round of matches.

Moseki confirmed to SportMonitor that a case has been registered before the Lobatse High Court in which two warring factions are battling for the trade name and mark for the team. The two parties appeared in court recently for a roll call with a company, Mochudi Centre Chiefs Pty Limited suing the society for using its trade name and symbol.

He said the club has since responded to the company claims and the case will resume in February next year. “I cannot provide further details because the case is before the courts but I can say that we also feel the allegations are unfounded,” he said.
