Botswana Netball Association (BONA) has missed a deadline to submit an audited financial report for the 2017 Netball World Youth Cup, which the country hosted.

The report was to be submitted before the 2019 Netball World Cup held in Liverpool last July.

However, according to information reaching Mmegi Sport, the financial report that was submitted to Botswana National Sport Commission (BNSC) and International Netball Federation (INF) was not audited.  Reports indicate that the event resulted in financial losses and BONA could not afford an auditor. “BNSC was to audit the report since all the funds from government for the event were distributed to suppliers using BNSC processes,” said a source. Speaking during a press conference this week, BONA president, Malebo Raditladi said they face a challenge regarding the 2017 audit. She said the matter is no longer about netball.
