\u201cTruly speaking, this has touched me. I’m overwhelmed with the amount of love and support shown in me by the football leaders in this country. It shows that you have trust in me from what I presented to you during my visits to your constituencies,\u201d the new LeFA President stated.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would like to say to all of you here today, God has blessed us with the skills and knowledge to take football in Lesotho to a different level if we work together.”<\/p>\n
The incoming President stated that the football leadership in the country was divided leading to the Congress, but his plea is for all of them to put everything behind and start afresh for the betterment of football in Lesotho.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know in the buildup to the congress, we were divided but I plead with you my leaders to put it all behind us and work towards the betterment of football in our country,\u201d Nthunya said.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s work together, let\u2019s roll our sleeves and work together for the betterment of our game because we have potential, but what we lack is working together.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can all hear that as I talk about this, I get emotional because we have indeed humiliated each other at the expense of the game, let’s forget all those things and work for the betterment of the game,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
