The BFL was left without a CEO following the departure of Solomon Ramochotlhwane on October 17.
But three months after Ramochotlhwane's departure, there has been no replacement, with Patrick Motsepe holding fort in the meantime.
There were reports the BFL was keen on South African administrator, Senzo Mbatha on a short-term deal while a substantive head was being sort.
However, the arrangement looks unlikely as the search drags on. Zakhem said due diligence had delayed the appointment of the CEO. “We are trying to give candidates who we couldn't verify their experience, a chance to submit references to support their CVs,” Zakhem said.
“In other words, we are trying to trace on claimed experience and educational background. Unfortunately, this exercise is going to take a bit of time,” he added. Despite the absence of a substantive CEO and lack of sponsorship for the Botswana Premier League, the season has largely been glitch-free.
Heading into the weekend, all teams have played 11 games each, and an exciting title chase is taking shape. Only five points separate leaders, Gaborone United and fourth placed Township Rollers.
While last season was marred by protests, there has been no such this season, but reports are Extension Gunners are struggling to pay their players. The club had initially failed Club Licensing but on review, the team was granted the licence to play this season.
