SONA very light on sport

Last week, the President delivered the annual State of the Nation Address (SONA) and without giving away much already; he said pretty much what I expected him to say and left out pretty much what I expected to be left out.

I have always maintained that the best way to develop sport in Botswana is to focus on grassroots development so that athletes are identified and developed at an early age, as well as have trained and competent trainers to take care off and nurture the talent identified at an early age. One that critical aspect to Botswana becoming a world beater in sport is facilities, and without being too critical, we have been lacking with regards facilities in some respect.
