Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>Lioli Football Club (FC) \u201dTse Nala\u201d President Lebohang Thotanyana has been appointed as the Chairman of the Vodacom Lesotho Premier League (VPL) Chairman\u2019s<\/p>\n

forum on Thursday at Bambatha T\u0161ita Sports Arena. In his remarks Thotanyana said in normal circumstances, there would be formal elections but he was appointed following<\/p>\n

the Chairman\u2019s vacancy in the VPL Chairman\u2019s Forum. He said the vacancy was a result of Baba Malephane\u2019s departure, who assumed the role of the Premier<\/p>\n

League Management Committee (PLMC) Deputy Chairperson during the end of term elections last year. Thotanyana said he is honored and humbled for the opportunity to take part in the Lesotho football constitution amendment,<\/p>\n

which is another task of the committee. \u201cThe plan is to develop our football and make a constitution that will assist us to create a professional football<\/p>\n

in the country as this is the forum of the football clubs Presidents and our main duty as the watchdog of the league is to lead the way and make things<\/p>\n

happen, so we hope and believe that we will work together with the Lesotho Football Association (LeFA) since its President Salemane Phafane is a member of<\/p>\n

the committee. This is the high powered committee that will aid us to alter several activities,\u201d he noted. Thotanyana said the football fraternity needs the leadership that will protect football in the current<\/p>\n

health conditions. He said from the meetings, they discussed several areas that need a detailed focus, including the how to safely resume football and make the brand relevant.<\/p>\n

He said they are yet to meet again and review suggestions on these points. He said the chairman\u2019s forum will meet again in two weeks. Adding that they asked LeFA and the National Covid-19 Secretariat (NACOSEC) to review some of the rules and regulations like regular testing to ease their return to football tournaments.<\/p>\n
