Baroka chairman Khurishi Mphahlele has expressed his disappointment following the club’s relegation from the DStv Premiership.
Bakgaga ended the 2022 season in 16th place with just 25 points from 30 games, four points clear from safety.
Ahead for the club is a campaign in the GladAfrica Championship as their six-year spell in the South African top-flight came to an end.
Mphahlele said on Times Live: “To be honest I am very disappointed. I don’t have words to express how disappointed I am.
“We all made mistakes during the season and we are all to be blamed for this. I can’t only blame other people, I am also blaming myself because there are some things that we should have handled differently.
“We must take collective responsibility for this undesirable situation. In my case, it is the issue of: what did I do when things were not going right? As a leader I am including myself but this is not the time to point fingers.
“I am also to be blamed because if somebody didn’t do their job, I am the one who was supposed to make sure that people do their jobs in my oversight role and take action if things were not going right.”
Mphahlele added: “It will be very good to come back as speedily as possible, we are going to try hard to come back. We just need to work smarter and be proactive, sometimes you see something happening but you hope that things will work out and they don’t work out.”
