The Botswana Netball Association (BONA) has received a total of P10.9 million from government for next year’s Netball World Youth Cup preparations.

Speaking to Mmegi Sport yesterday, BONA president, Tebogo Lebotse-Sebego who is also the president of African Netball, said 40% of the money will be solely for the team’s preparations for the games.

“We submitted a budget of P30 million to the government but we got P10.9 million and of the amount around 40% is meant for the team’s preparations. This means we should keep cajoling the private sector,” she said. Lebotse-Sebego stated that they appreciate the government support even though they had wished for more money.  “We understand that there is currently an issue of financial constraint. It would be unfair for us to say we are not getting support. They have tried their best looking at the state of the economy,” she highlighted.
