Deaf sports body demands autonomy

The call comes in the wake of BDSF’s struggle to secure funding to compete at the inaugural Africa Deaf Athletics Championship (ADAC) slated for Kenya in September.

BDSF is an affiliate of PASSOBO, but now wants autonomy. BDSF president, Shirley Keoagile told Mmegi Sport that it has been a struggle for them to get assistance from the government. She argued that as a member of PASSOBO, they have never benefitted financially from the association.
