Boineelo Hardy made history this weekend when she became the first president of the Botswana Basketball Association (BBA) to retain her position. 

She is also the first BBA president to complete her term.

Her vice is Phineas Makgale while Thatayaone Kgoadi is the secretary general. Tirafalo Matsetse is technical director, Mmoloki Njemela is the treasurer while the public relations officer is Abaleng Lesego. Hardy told Sport Monitor that initially she was not willing to seek another term but after careful consideration she changed her mind. “I had a meeting with my executive committee to decide our future with BBA. When I was contesting for this position for the first time, I promised the basketball community that I would get land for them. Here I was with my term coming to an end but there was no land for us. There is a lot that is still going with our plot and I still want answers. My names was dragged in the mud because of that, the BBA received bad publicity because of it,” she said.
