Former Botswana Amateur Fencing Society (BAFS) president, Gaolatwe Mudongo has won a case against his suspension from the Botswana National Sport Commission (BNSC).

BNSC suspended Mudongo for three years last year for undermining the BNSC authority.  During the suspension, Mudongo was barred from holding any sport leadership position. High Court judge, Modiri Letsididi ruled that the decision of BNSC chief executive officer, Falcon Sedimo, who is the first respondent in the matter, should be set aside and declared null and void.

Reacting to the ruling, Mudongo said he has been vindicated as the court has cleared him. He said the legal costs are around P30,000.
