Tension is mounting in the karate senior men’s kata team as coach Christopher Ponatshego is accused of giving his younger brother, Tlotlang Ponatshego preferential treatment.

According to information reaching Mmegi Sport, the coach selected a kata team that included his brother. It is alleged that the team members who made the cut were not part of the last national team selection held in Gaborone in March.
