THE footballing community on Monday woke up to the interesting news that Lesotho Football Association (LeFA) president Salemane Phafane has been recommended by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to serve in the FIFA disciplinary committee.
Phafane becomes the second Mosotho to be associated with his sport’s international body in a space of two weeks after national boxing coach Sibusiso Keketsi was also appointed to serve in the International Boxing Association (AIBA) coaches committee.
Keketsi was appointed to the committee by the AIBA board.
The duo joins a list of other sport administrators who have served in different international sports bodies.
Keketsi appointed to AIBA committee
The appointment was made by the AIBA board last Friday.
An elated Keketsi told the Lesotho Times this week that he was excited about the opportunity and has already started his work.
“Five years ago when still I was still in school, one professor told me that I should dream of where I want to be in the next 10 years and my dream has always been to be in the AIBA committee and it has happened in just five years, so I am extremely grateful for that,” Keketsi said.
“It is indeed a big achievement especially for someone who comes from a country where sport is still on the amateur level.
