The Botswana Africa Youth Games Organising Committee (BAYGOC) is busy clearing its office as it winds up operations after a successful hosting mission. The committee will compile reports, including financials on the Youth Games, which were hailed as a success.

Botswana hosted the competition in May. BAYGOC chief executive officer, Tuelo Serufho told Mmegi Sport the reports will be released next month. He said extensive auditing is underway and his office is disbursing payments to individuals and companies engaged to provide services during the games.
