Minister applauds BTA :: Mmegi Online

Minister of Sport, Youth and Culture, Moeng Pheto, has applauded the Botswana Tennis Association (BTA) for convincing the International Tennis Federation (ITF) to give them the opportunity to host the African Junior Championships for the second year in a row.

"There must be something that BTA did well previously, which privileged the association with the opportunity to host the event twice in a row," said the minister on Monday at the official opening the on-going 31st ITF and Confederation of the African Tennis (CAT) championships.

Thirty countries are taking part in the continental event. Pheto explained that overcoming the challenges of the tournament is no mean achievement. It takes quite a lot of sacrifice, time, resources and commitment for it to be a success and the commitment by the hosts can never be overemphasized, he added.
