| The Winter Tournament is just in time... |
The Lesotho Basketball Association’s (LBA) annual
Winter Tournament is set to raise the temperature this coming weekend.
The always hotly-contested event will take place at the Lehakoe Club on
Saturday and Sunday.
The competition is revamped this year with Vodacom Lesotho sponsoring
the event to the tune of M10 000 worth of airtime which can be converted into
money via M-PESA.
So far, four ladies teams and six men’s teams have registered for the Winter
Tournament.
The men’s teams are Leseli, Bashana Baheso, Bokamoso South, Buffalos,
Lichocha Shooting Rifles and 2015/16 national champions, KTA All Stars. The
ladies teams are BBH, KTA, Bokamoso South and local basketball queens, Lichocha
Shooting Rifles. The LBA will reveal the final list of contenders by Thursday.
To football, and the Lesotho Football Association (LeFA) is currently
holding a CAF A License course for 25 local and two foreign coaches at the Bambatha
Tšita Sports Complex.
The foreign coaches are Morena Ramoreboli who heads South Africa Premier
League side Bloemfontein Celtics’ youth development. Ramoreboli famously
masterminded the 4-1 drubbing of South African giants Orlando Pirates by third
division outfit Maluti FET College’s in the 2013 Nedbank Cup.
The other foreign coach is Englishman Mark Harrison who coaches Botswana
top-flight giants Township Rollers and previously worked in South Africa.
Former Lesotho captain and current Bloemfontein Celtic assistant coach
Lehlohonolo Seema is also going through his paces at the course.
The CAF A License is the highest qualification offered by the governing
body of African football. The hosting of the course is also part of the LeFA’s endeavours
to move from amateur football to a semi-professional status.
