Mmegi: Please introduce yourselfBathai: I was born in Kanye but grew up in Lobatse. I hold a Degree in Computer Science and I went on to do my Master’s degree in Strategic Management. I am currently doing a PhD in Business and Management. I have also done many business courses. I have worked for many organisations, so when it comes to the management of an organisation I know what I am talking about. I also serve in the Commonwealth Karate Federation as vice president.
Bakwadi: I am the founding member of the Botswana Hayashi-Ha and I run Bakwadi Karate Academy. It is the only karate school registered with Botswana Qualifications Authority (BQA). I also have social responsibility where I assist people who want to train in karate. I have been through that part. I had to sell soft drink bottles to pay Socca Moruakgomo P30 training fee in 1986. I am now a 6th dan black belt WKF approved, WKF referee and judge B in kumite and judge A in kata. I have represented Botswana at regional, zonal, continental and international level karate championships. I was a successful athlete and the memorable moment being at the Shukokai World Championship in Japan in 1994. I was part of the first national team in 1989. I am now pushing to become (BOKA) president.
