Showa unmoved amidst ouster efforts :: Mmegi Online

The familiar daggers are drawn at the Botswana Football League (BFL) with a section of shareholders pushing for chairperson Sipho Showa's removal as the football body prepares for its annual general meeting next week. Football has become a familiar ground for drawn-out battles, and this time, ahead of the BFL's annual general meeting (AGM) next Saturday, there is no shortage of the usual drama. This time, Showa is expected to go head-to-head with a section of shareholders who are baying for his head.

Campaign flyers calling for the ouster of Showa are being circulated, who came into power in August last year. He replaced Peter Kesitilwe, who resigned in a huff following a heated AGM in Palapye.

Now, less than 12 months later, Showa faces a hostile section from some of the 16 BFL shareholders who are mounting a campaign for his ouster.
