Zakhem content with league’s progress

Zakhem had turned into a fierce critic of the administration at the Botswana Football Association (BFA), with much of the criticism directed at the association’s president, Maclean Letshwiti.

However, all that has cooled and in an interview, Zakhem said there was no reason to continue on ‘attack mode’ if his concerns had been addressed. Zakhem said most of the issues he had raised, including the return to play, had been addressed. Football had gone almost two years without action. The league has reached the halfway stage but has had to run without a title sponsor. “This year there will be no title sponsor. There will be prize money for all the teams. We have not finalised figures but it’s going to be reasonable.
