Affiliates at their meeting on Saturday PIC: KAGISO ONKATSWITSE

The Botswana Amateur Fencing Society (BAFS) affiliates have expressed displeasure with their executive committee leadership.

The affiliates held a special general meeting over the weekend where they agreed on one voice to pass a motion of no confidence against the committee. The leadership was put in office on April 1, 2017 and was led by Mandla Masuku.

The committee was absent at the meeting as they were said to be conducting a tournament at University of Botswana. The motion was tabled by Robust Fencing Club and seconded by North Rise Club. The main contention was that despite affiliates having complied with fencing requirements, they were being sidelined.
