The Botswana Volleyball Federation (BVF) executive committee members continue to occupy office despite their term having elapsed.

The committee was elected in 2009 and its two-year term came to an end in June.  The committee was supposed to vacate office after the Annual General Meeting (AGM), but there were delays as financial statements remain un-audited. The AGM, which is still to be held, would have seen the election of new office bearers.BVF president, Daniel Molaodi, acknowledged in an interview that they are occupying the office beyond their term.  He was however, quick to defend the action, arguing it was due to reasons beyond their control.

He confirmed that the AGM and the elections are delayed because the financial statements have not been audited. "Unless that (auditing) has happened we will not hold the elections," he told Mmegi Sport yesterday. He said they had been waiting for the audit for some time now, expressing hope that it would be done before the end of the year.
