PALAPYE: In a bid to reach out to more karatekas, the Botswana Karate Association (BOKA) launched a programme dubbed Project 1000 in Palapye over the weekend. BOKA president, Tshepho Bathai said the Project 1000 is an outreach programme that intends to reach 1,000 people by 2020.

“We want to reach out to people all over the country. There is no need to say we are taking karate to the people without practising it. This project will help us. We want to introduce karate in all the schools that don’t have it and revive clubs that were dead,” he said.

Bathai further stated that karate was, last year, admitted as an Olympic sport hence they must work hard to qualify. He said the project is meant to improve karate.
