Magang has a point on BNSC

Magang questioned the wisdom of sending even personal assistants to Ghana for the ongoing African Games yet during preparations, sport codes are often told there is no budget. She argues, when its game time, all of a sudden there is enough money to send even personal assistants to supposedly cheer the team on. If this really is the case, it should not be happening.

Yes, Magang has been in the BNSC board before and the argument is that she should have fought tooth and nail to stop the habit from within. However, in her response to a story carried in Friday’s Mmegi, Magang says she has always been consistent on the issue and we have no reason to doubt her until someone convincingly rebuts her statement. It will seem the Botswana National Sport Commission (BNSC) has its priorities upside down on this one. You cannot employ a heavy top (officials) and light bottom (athletes) approach in a tournament that is essential is about the athletes.
