Kgathi defends Sports Bill

The bill seeks to streamline the operations of the Department of Sports and Recreation (DSR), the Botswana Olympic Committee (BNOC) and the Botswana National Sports Council (BNSC). On Tuesday, Tonota South MP, Pono Moatlhodi said in Parliament that adequate consultations were not done when drafting the bill. He said the BNOC, which is a major stakeholder had not been adequately consulted. “What this bill means is that all sporting activities will be under the ministry. And the affiliates have not been consulted,” Moatlhodi said.
