Injured Mogaladi accuses BNSC of neglect

National team midfielder, Michael Mogaladi has accused the Botswana National Sports Council (BNSC) of abandoning him following an Achilles tendon injury he sustained in the build up to the opening Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Tunisia last year. The Mochudi Centre Chiefs' star is still struggling with the injury months after undergoing an operation.

There has been an impasse between Mogaladi and the BNSC after the former Maritzburg United linkman indicated his wish to get medical attention from a Cape Town sports' injuries specialist. BNSC told the player that government does not allow injured sports persons to go for medical attention abroad because they can be treated locally. After undergoing surgery in March at the Gaborone Private Hospital, Mogaladi fears he may never return to action.

"Obviously, I was going to get the best treatment in Cape Town where I had been referred to a sports' injuries specialist. But I was told the government would not pay for my treatment in South Africa because there are people who can do the same thing here. So I ended up being operated here by people who have no knowledge of sports' injuries.
