New Official Poses Dilemma For BNSC, BNOC

After getting a job at the Botswana National Sports Council (BNSC), it is not clear if Game Mothibi will still serve as a Botswana National Olympics Committee (BNOC) executive committee member.

The former teacher has been appointed to the newly created BNSC projects officer. She is currently in South Africa on a two-week training course.  BNSC and BNOC officials have so far failed to say what is going to happen to Mothibi after the recent development. BNSC marketing and communications manager, Chris Nkwe said he is not sure of the way forward because they have never had such a case before. He suspects that a special arrangement was made for Mothibi during the interview. BNSC executive secretary could not be reached as he is currently outside the country.

Dickson Gabanakgosi of BNOC said they have not been formally informed about Mothibi's appointment at BNSC. He said they will decide on the way forward once they have been informed of the matter. He added that the constitutions of the two bodies will guide them on what to do.
