Making a call: Motorsport wants to be considered for the Zebra fund

The Botswana National Sports Commission (BNSC) has received new applications for the Zebra Athletes Fund, with judo, golf and motorsport being the new entrants.

BNSC sports development director (technical), Bobby Gaseitsiwe told Mmegi Sport yesterday that they had received more than 15 applications from different codes. He said applications were closed last week. He said the role of his office is to go through profiles of athletes who had applied. Gaseitsiwe said after the process has been completed, the applications are forwarded to the Sports Development Committee, which is an independent body that makes the selections. He said the committee would select athletes who have met the criteria.

“The main objective of this Fund is to assist identified athletes with special training programmes to enhance their potential. The Fund covers preparations for international competitions in respect of approved programmes for identified athletes. The Fund is extended to cover official club competitions at regional, continental and world levels,” he said.
