Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Different speakers have described Township Rollers ladies football chairperson, Archie Serufho as an astute leader who knew how to work with the girl-child in women\u2019s football.<\/b><\/p>\n

Speaking during his funeral on October 24, Botswana Football Association representative Keeng Mosinyi said the growth of women football in Botswana could also be attributed to Serufho.<\/p>\n

She said Serufho was part of the league committee and during his tenure he delivered his mandate with distinction and he never complained.<\/p>\n

\u201cArchie worked very well with the region and the office and he never complained as his aim was to see women\u2019s football growth,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Mosinyi said Serufho\u2019s team, Township Rollers ladies managed to produce quality players, amongst them Refilwe Tholakele and Sedilame Bosija, who are currently playing for Mamelodi Sundowns in South Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cArchie was a great leader, even after leaving the league committee, he continued to advise, especially the Gaborone Region,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Mosinyi said Rollers ladies were once was of the best teams in the league, and that could be attributable to the good leadership of Serufho.<\/p>\n

Mosinyi pointed out that Serufho instilled discipline in his team, hence most of the players from Township Rollers, who currently play for other teams to date, were still disciplined.<\/p>\n

Rollers chairperson, Bafana Pheto said Serufho joined the ladies team in 2016 as the chairperson, a position he held to date.<\/p>\n

He said they were saddened by his untimely death given that though they were in constant communication regarding their women\u2019s team, he did not show any signs of discomfort.<\/p>\n

Pheto said Serufho had good skills to work with women football players, adding that they were still wondering as to who would fill the void.<\/p>\n
