The Registrar of Societies says the tennis body failed to file returns

The Registrar of Societies has rejected the Botswana Tennis Association’s (BTA) application for constitutional amendment to increase office bearers’ tenure from two to four years. The association has failed to file returns with the Registrar of Societies for two consecutive years, and the Botswana National Sports Commission (BNSC) said the body was now illegal.

In a letter dated October 31, 2016, the Registrar stated that the association was not in compliance with the Societies Act 18:01 after failing to submit annual returns for 2015-2016 despite a reminder through a June 25, 2016 correspondence.

The letter further reads that the minutes that were attached to the constitutional amendment request did not reflect the deliberations and resolution taken to amend the current constitution, the percentage of members who endorsed the amendment and those in opposition.
