The current CEO of the Botswana Premier League Bennet ‘The Diving’ Mamelodi has been hush-hush mentioned as a possible candidate to replace Keith Masters. And as was expected he has flatly denied the link. I’m not surprised. He is a very ambitious gentleman and if courted, on his terms, he cannot down the opportunity. That I’m pretty sure off. Both parties are keeping their cards close to their chest and not letting anything out. That is to be expected as the BFA has to leave no stone unturned and look wide for a substantive replacement.
Bennet Mamelodi has proved his mettle at the helm of the BPL. He has ruffled a few feathers along the way, but gets things done. No longer do we have teams doing as they please. There is a degree of order. He has not always made the popular decisions and has irked some, but he always stands by and justifies his decisions. He takes initiative and is a risk taker who understands the business of football and what football in Botswana deserves from the different partners and stakeholders.
