Central Region Volleyball League (CRVL) Committee Chairperson, Robert White, has resigned from his position after falling out with some officials.<\/p>\n
In a two-paged letter dated February 17, 2017, and addressed to all committee members, White said he quit after a thoughtful reflection of his ideals.<\/p>\n
He attributed his resignation to the conduct of committee members, saying it was not in line with his beliefs, standards and aspirations in leading the sport in the region.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere have been clear divisions and lack of common agenda among members into different blocs within the committee. Under such circumstances, it is very difficult for us to promote a common agenda,\u201d reads part of the letter.<\/p>\n
White faulted his working relationship with key individuals in the committee as having deteriorated.<\/p>\n
He cited instances where he could come out to disassociate the committee with positions and communications from the league\u2019s General Secretary, Trust Mtegha.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have little tolerance for mediocrity especially in managing affairs of voluntary and professional bodies. Much as it was my responsibility to discipline and rectify such malpractices, I have never wanted to turn the committee into a battlefield because such tendencies border on personality and personal egos and not on objectivity,\u201d added the letter.<\/p>\n
Mtegha, confirmed receiving the letter but declined to take further questions.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe got the letter on Saturday and we will be meeting to map the way forward. But I cannot say much because my position has been mentioned as having contributed to the resignation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The development comes at a time when the league is struggling for resources to conduct a prize presentation ceremony for the 2016 season.<\/p>\n
CRVL is the most competitive league with its teams winning all national competitions over the years. The region has strong teams such as Kamuzu Barracks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
