I have been following the e-mail exchanges that have been going since morning
and it’s all good. The fact that we are talking and exchanging ideas is a very
good development rather than keeping quite and hope things will sort themselves
out. The talking in itself is a very good start; how that talk won’t remain
mere rhetoric but translated into action let it be a discussion for another
day. We all agree that Pempho has raised very pertinent and relevant issues
here. Referring and running of the league. You people will agree with me that
refereeing is a very important aspect of any game and any mediocre performance
by the man in charge leads to grumbling and dissatisfaction. The question of
the same faces running the league might not be easy to deal with now because
Daud, Jay and George were mandated by BASMAL to run the league on our behalf
because of CEZOBAL’s poor management. So until such a time when it could be
clearly displayed that CEZOBAL is
ready to run the affairs of the league (am afraid it’s still not) then we can
go into the discussions concerning faces and micro management. I have a few
suggestions guys that may or may not address some of the challenges that the
game is facing at this point in time.
There is need for this transitional executive to call for a meeting to get
feedback from teams on how the league is being run. Both positive and negative.
Sometimes people assume too much and might not know what exactly is going and
why some decisions are being made. I know we have rules that are currently
governing our league but there might be a few we could bend without
compromising the quality of our league and embarrassing ourselves when we go
outside the country. I suggest team captains and opinion pushers like Dan
Khomba could be invited.
Can the executive consider giving roles to some people (teams to identify
people) for tasks. Otherwise we will still be saying the executive wants to do
everything and the executive will be saying no one is willing to come forward
and assist. I mean people might be willing but they do know what exactly they
need to do. For example, on a game day one team could be asked to provide a
referee or they risk loosing league points, another team to provide score
keepers and so on. There so many tasks that can be shared but I guess we
discuss these in a proper meeting like the one I have suggested above. The
executive can now be left with the more strategic roles like court maintenance,
looking for sponsorship and monitoring how the shared tasks are being managed.
Daud, call for meeting of team captains and others on a Saturday after games
and lets come up with something all teams should own.

Pempho,
You have addressed issues that truly needed attention. Issues that have been
brewing for quite some time now and I have to thank you for taking your time
and resources to do so. What happened at the court was very unfortunate. It is
very sad for us not only as bball players but as human beings to stoop that low.
As for this "one decision maker idea" you have, I think it has been addressed
before so I wont waste time on it. I will simply advise you to go back to your
in-box and you will find well written emails that will answer all your
questions. If you don't have them please let me know I am willing to create a
folder for you.
What worries me Pempho is this idea of shunning meetings because you are
frustrated that things are run by the same pple. This is a sad development.
Help me understand this, how will this decision help this game we all love?
Wouldn't you agree that maybe if you had shared your sentiments early enough
maybe some of the tension and misunderstandings would have been avoided. You
could have helped by mobilizing some pple who share your sentiments to submit
their resumes for the elections or submit your own. I have a belief that you
know for a fact that its not easy to run this league. I know for sure that the
executive does not enjoy the burden that they have. It's a blessing and a curse
if you ask me. As we all know, they use their resources to make things happen.
They sacrifice time away from their loved ones just to make this dream we have
of making the league successful a reality. They do this on a daily basis not
just over the weekend. So please
show some respect and be grateful by going out of your way in lending a
helpful hand. If anyone thinks that they can do things better, please wait for
the next elections. Until then, ideas are always welcome as long as we follow
the proper channel's. Do not be reactive but rather be proactive.

My thought is:
We can agree to nominate players whom we would wish to be refs, we can do this
by:
a) Committee can chose or point out those that they feel can manage and have
the apppropiate skills
b) Individual teams can from their respective teams nominate two players that
they think can do the work
c) On a suturday before or after games, all players present, we can hold sort
of a meeting and nominate players irrespective of which team such a nominee
originates from.
d) We can allow people to nominate themselves.
This group of nominated players then, on a set date have a training session
with you guys that went to BT for training. You share with these guys what you
learnt and thay way things gonna get better.

The other thing is that, at a certain point, it seemed everything was to be
done by the same kind of people. The cezobal committee was the same
representing Basmal, peolpe were frustrated with this if you din't know. League
decisions and rules seemed to changed because of what it seemed a one man
decision making policy. Most of us players gave in, tinazisiya coz ours voices
then weren't heard.
Most of us did not show up to the meeting that was supposed to take place to
chose a CEZOBAL committee, the above being the reason.
I believe its time for things to change and develop this game in LL. Its not
for one man, or a single group of men, but its for each and every player, let
your voice be heard, now its the time.
Lets forget the differences taht we have and come together as a team. ONE BIG
TEAM....

Pempho,
Your sentiments are very true, but who would have ref'd the game? If
you recall my earlier email, i was talking about the same thing that
people do not like to come and help out other games..I am sure Geoff
came to watch the game and not to ref and HE WAS THE ONLY PERSON
available when time came to start the game. Given this,
1)The game still stands as a league
2)Officiation is not used to decide whether a game is a friendly or a
league one.its the fixture that decides that and it has to be
honoured.
When the fixture is done, no ref is assigned to a game just Ref
Commisioners who are Bvuto Chintengo, Lonje Maliro and Daud. Am sure
you have seen only Daud and Bvuto reffing games. with Daud playing and
Bvuto gone after his game earlier in the day, who then could possibly
ref that game? ..
Let me challenge you Pempho to help us finding ways of getting better
refs available for the games, i would like to hear from you what your
views are on that.
League ndiya tonse...
