During the meeting, delegates also discussed the minimum entry into the technical commission. BOKA public relations officer, Jerry Ditlhong told Mmegi Sport that the association is yet to implement the resolutions. He said they are waiting for BOKA president, David Mathe to deliver a report on the progress made thus far.
Ditlhong said the association recently held a retreat in Mahalapye. “We went there to discuss our strategy, public relations plan and BOKA constitution. The retreat was attended by delegates and we were not targeting chief instructors only,” he said. Ditlhong said the absence of chief instructors at the retreat was not a challenge. He said they have completed the BOKA strategic plan and they are left with a few items to complete the review of the constitution.
Ditlhong said they failed to discuss BOKA public relations plan due to time constraints.
“We are concerned that people only hear about karate when we are hosting championships. We want to change that and be visible all the time. We can only achieve that if we have a plan in place,” said Ditlhong.
Meanwhile, BOKA president, David Mathe said they are preparing a team that will compete at the World Karate Federation (WKF) championships to be held in Austria in October. Mathe said the championship is an annual event and they cannot miss it.
When asked about the national team coach, Mathe said to his knowledge, Peter Molefhe is still the coach. He said finances were a challenge but there was a plan to send a team to the championships.
