FRANCISTOWN: Body building champion, Tobokani Maletamotse has criticised the Botswana Bodybuilding and Weightlifting Federation (BBWF) for failing to aid his World Championship mission.

Maletamotse represented the country at the National Amateur Body Building Association (NABBA) World Fitness Federation (WFF) Championships held in Nicosia, Cyprus early in the month.

He scooped position six in the athletic category at the WFF championships and walked away with a trophy and a medal.  He is the national and provincial champion in the athletic category. The Francistown-born Maletamotse went to the competition alongside his compatriot, Gontse Sechele who scooped position four in the extreme category. The champ said his journey to the competition endured a rough ride due to lack of support by the local federation. “We have a federation but it is like it does not exist, or at least they don’t know we (body building athletes) exist,” he said.
