Goodhope Senior Secondary School, an athletics Centre of Sport Excellence, has suffered a double blow after two coaches were transferred, a move that has left the Botswana Athletics Association (BAA) shocked.

Oagile Monone and Lebone Moreri have been transferred to Kanye’s Bathoen Junior Secondary School and Montshiwa JSS in Pitsane respectively.
