Boost for water sports as Gabs Dam rises

Gaborone Yatcht Club secretary general, Electra Vye said these are exciting times as they have long waited for the dam levels to rise. “We were now having challenges with members’ subscriptions as they were refusing to pay since they were not active. Today (yesterday) we have had many enquiries including people renewing their membership since the dam gained significantly,” Vye said. She said since they worked with the 2014 Youth Games team, they want to resume training and assist them to go and compete internationally.

BNSC chairperson, Solly Reikeletseng told Mmegi Sport yesterday that the changes mean that water sport such as angling, rowing and canoeing can now resume.
