Funding headache as netball countdown to the World Cup

But Botswana Netball Association (BONA) president, Tebogo Lebotse-Sebego decried slow progress in their bid to plug a budget deficit. The government has provided P10.9 million of the required P30 million to host the event, and Lebotse-Sebego acknowledges the response has been slow.

“This is an area that is significantly lagging behind. The NWYC secretariat continues to engage potential sponsors, however the response for the project from sponsors has been slow. We continue to implore the private community to support NWYC2017,” Lebotse-Sebego said when giving a media update.
