Masire-Mwamba urges participants to keep clean image

She said that not only does Botswana advocate for clean games, but it is also against the use of performance-enhancing drugs in sport. Masire-Mwamba said it is the responsibility of the country to do it in a manner that reflects what Botswana is really about.  She added that the games are a platform to show the diversity of the Commonwealth nations as the athletes participating will share the cultural backgrounds of the nations. She urged athletes to hoist the national flag high as the games give them a platform for the youth to show their leadership skills. The games will help young athletes enhance their leadership skills.

Masire-Mwamba who also a contender for the Commonwealth secretary general position has likened her candidacy to the team’s quest for success.
