The Botswana Judo Federation (BJF) has been accused of neglecting eight-year-old judoka, Primrose Seepi, who suffered a double fracture on her arm on Saturday.

Seepi, who is under judo’s Re Ba Bona Ha development club suffered the freak injury during the Botswana Judo Inter Club tournament held in Gaborone. The girl was rushed to Princess Marina Hospital where she is admitted.

 The family said a judo representative checked their daughter yesterday, but did not bring anything for the injured girl.  Before she suffered the injury, Seepi had battled in three fights and only met her misery on the last encounter.  She scooped position three and won bronze medal under the 22kg category. The injury occurred when she was trying to support her body with her left arm on the floor while battling an opponent, which resulted in her breaking it.
