Former treasurer, Lesego Master Maifala bounced back to the Botswana Table Tennis Association (BTTA) leadership, this time as president, during elections on Friday night in Gaborone.

Maifala was unopposed for the position after outgoing president, Thebe Selema decided not to contest citing pressing commitments. Contestants for four other positions - secretary general, treasurer, tournament secretary and youth development coordinator - were also unopposed.
