BODA was set to meet on February 13, but was forced to postponed due to insufficient funds. The federation was P33,000 short and the Botswana National Sport Commission (BNSC) declined to avail funds for the gathering. The agreement was that the BNSC would cover a certain part of the meeting’s logistics costs.
“The meeting is allowed since there is no physical attendance. It will be virtual, meaning everyone will be either home or elsewhere; those restrictions refer to physical interactions. We are expecting to hear the president’s report, secretary-general and treasurer reports. We are also expecting to hear what our regional body has decided or plans to do in the future due to the coronavirus,” BODA public relations officer, Thato Maphorisa said.
This weekend’s gathering will be an elective AGM. Buyani Zongwane is to be ushered in as the new president. He is unopposed for the post. Two other positions in the committee, public relations officer and recording secretary, are also uncontested. The vice presidency race pits Moitshupi Seomile against Sam Noga and Percyvaal Bagwasi.
As for the secretary-general seat, it is a repeat of the 2017 elections as incumbent Mothusi Moakofi battles Kagiso Kitso. Kgara Ludo Madandume and Kerataone Leririma will contest for the treasurer’s seat.
Larona Benson Ratanang has since dropped out of the youth coordinator race citing personal reasons, leaving the duo of Machena Robert and Jobe Kebadiretsein to contest. Letlhogelwa Mosepele, Brian Marisa and Victor Wolfenden will battle it out for the tournament director’s position.
