Foreign-based boxers complain of neglect

The boxers registered their complaint in Gaborone yesterday during a meeting with Assistant Minister of Education and Skills Development, Keletso Rakhudu. They said that since moving abroad, the BNSC has not supported them through its Local Controlling Body (LCB). Peter Pilane, Dintwa Sloca, Boysie Francis, Daniel Mookodi, Seroba Binda, Mothusi Olebile and Hebert Nkabiti said that BNSC has virtually neglected them and the LCB is doing little to help professional boxers. Former professional, Thuso Khubamang who has been the boxers' acting manager and promoter locally, led the group to the meeting with Rakhudu.

After the meeting, Sloca told Mmegi Sport that they have tried to raise their concerns with the LCB in vain. He said this forced them to meet Rakhudu who has supported boxers over the years. The boxers want the Gaborone North MP to take their concerns to the Ministry of Sport, Youth and Culture.
