Teachers reinstate Pholo as LISA President
The members of the new LISA executive committee
Several teachers displayed their profound trust in Pholo by electing him in numbers during an elective conference that was held at Setsoto stadium on Saturday.
David Khohleli was elected as Vice President while the Secretary General 'Malineo Makhang retained her position.
Makhang is deputised by Maphingoane Hoohlo with Naleli Setlai as the Treasurer.
Ntainyane Marabe has been roped in as the outfit’s Public Relations Officer with Khojane Phae and Moea Kubutu as members.
In his remarks, Pholo expressed his gratitude to fellow teachers for their trust in him, adding that he will be able to achieve a lot through their support.
He had previously contested for the position of Vice President but was defeated by Retšelisitsoe Lephaila.
“I lost to him at that time and supported him. I therefore urge all to also support those who have been voted into the committee today because we need your assistance as well,” he appealed.
An observer from the Lesotho National Olympic Committee (LNOC) Letsatsi Ntsibolane who holds the Vice Presidency Finance portfolio lauded LISA for hosting peaceful elections.
He also thanked former LISA Vice President Caswell Moru and the Lesotho Sport and Recreation (LSRC) Commissioner Posholi Posholi for ensuring that both bodies work together towards forming an Independent Electoral Commission (IEC), which facilitates federations’ elections.
“This good work that the IEC does is the result of what both Messrs Moru and Posholi did to ensure the development of sports and for good working relations between the two mother bodies in the country.
