The football fraternity is further informed that; \u201cLeFA President has been appointed to serve in the CAF Committee for Legal Affairs<\/p>\n<p>and National Associations while Mohoanyane will take a role in the CAF\u2019s Developmental Committee for Futsal and Beach soccer and Mohapi getting an appointment to be a member of the CAF\u2019s Organizing Committee for Interclub<\/p>\n<p>Competitions and Management of Club Licensing respectively. \u201d \u201cThe appointment to serve in the CAF Committee for Legal affairs comes just a few months after LeFA President was elected to serve in<\/p>\n<p>the Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) Disciplinary Committee. He is also the Chairperson of the Council of Southern Africa Football Associations (COSAFA) Appeals Committee; he is a member of the COSAFA<\/p>\n<p>Elections body,\u201d reads the statement. It further noted that Mohoanyane on the other hand has been re-appointed to serve in the CAF Futsal and Beach Soccer.<\/p>\n<p>He is also a member of the COSAFA Organizing Committee for the COSAFA Competitions. \u201cThe LeFA SG is one of the two longest serving MA SG\u2019s together with the Eswatini SG.<\/p>\n<p>He is one of the pioneers of Club Licensing to Lesotho, a feat that saw a number of our clubs move from being amateurs to semi-professionals. He is now part of the<\/p>\n<p>Africa\u2019s Elite Club leaders, which include among others Dr. Irvin Khoza of Orlando Pirates Football Club (FC), Mahmound al Khatib the Al Ahly FC President<\/p>\n<p>and TP Mazembe FC Moise Katumbi as well as a number of elite club Presidents across Africa in the 17 Member Committee. He also serves on the COSAFA Legal<\/p>\n<p>and Statutes Committee,\u201d the statement further noted. LeFA SG Mokhosi Mohapi has on Wednesday told Informative Sport that to be appointed in the international body is always an honor<\/p>\n<p>to him because competition is something that he likes, adding that the biggest competitions to him are the international competitions. \u201cMost importantly I<\/p>\n<p>feel honored because I am among the first group of people who have done implementations in respective associations. In the African continent, to me this appointment comes through circle because I am still serving in the COSAFA<\/p>\n<p>Legal and Statutory Committee and therefore, to be appointed to CAF Committee takes me closer to the horizon,\u201d Mohapi said. He showed that this appoint is going to help him a lot<\/p>\n<p>because there are some other things that he is not familiar with in as far as the club administration committee is concerned, saying it is a perfect opportunity for him to interact with the committee, learn from it and come and<\/p>\n<p>share ideas with his people. On the other hand, LeFA First Vice President Khiba Mohoanyane said his experience earned him this appointment. He said the re-appointment is<\/p>\n<p>going to help to improve his work in LeFA administration. He highlighted that because of his membership in the CAF committee, LeFA will also improve and<\/p>\n<p>expand. \u201cThe first step forward would be talent identification and to start creation of beach soccer pitches in different parts of the country. I think this initiative will be helpful to us<\/p>\n<p>in a state where we don\u2019t realize that we have a lot of potential along those lines that can put us on the map, rather than focusing only on football. So, that is a direction we are taking now as a country,\u201d Mohoanyane noted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/lesotho\">Lesotho<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Lesotho.
