Information reaching this paper is that the BNYC board members are said to be pondering behind close doors on who to settle for between Tina Molathegi and Dingalo. It is understood that Human Resources Management Company (HRMC), the company that has been assigned to hire an executive director for BNYC, has shortlisted six candidates for the top post, with Dingalo leading the race.
Dingalo, and Molathegi, the acting BNYC director, are said to be the favourites. According to insiders there is belief that with Dingalo at the helm the organisation might benefit much, though others want Molathegi endorsed to maintain the prevailing peace within the BNYC.
Last year, the BNYC was caught in a power struggle in the hunt for an executive director, after the then executive director Falcon Sedimo quit to become director of sports and recreation under the newly created Ministry of Youth, Culture and Sport. Since October last year the organisation has been without a substantive director. At some point BNYC chairman Elius Rantleru was pitted against his secretary general Chomie Letlole and Molathegi, and the ministry amid reports that the ministry wanted to handpick Molathegi to lead the BNYC. Currently all is well between the trio and the chairman is reported to be in support of Molathegi over Dingalo. Contacted for comment, Rantleru claimed he was not aware of the names the board was considering for the post of executive director. "I don't know who has applied", he said. "All I know is that six people have been shortlisted." He added that the company doing the recruitment exercise was expected to conduct some interviews next week.
