Judge sports through all codes - Kgathi :: Mmegi Online

FRANCISTOWN: Minister of Sports, Youth and Culture, Shaw Kgathi has said the progress of sports should be judged by looking at all disciplines rather than football alone.

He told the Botswana National Sports Council (BNSC) Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Francistown on Saturday that sports is more than football. He said sport in the country continue to be judged through football but this should not be the case because other disciplines are excelling. "The recent performance by the Zebras in their encounter with Chad and Tunisia made us proud as a nation but we will become even more proud if it could be emulated by most sport codes. Sport is more than football, we need to prepare better for all games," Kgathi said.

He added that centres of excellence are an integral part of sports development. "Centres of sport excellence are very important to the continuous talent identification and development," he stressed.
