No external training for karate team

 It has always been a norm for a team due for the WKF championship to be sent outside the country for training but that has not been the case with the present team. BOKA spokesperson, Sensei Jerry Ditlhong said they have not been able to send the team for training outside the country due to financial crises. He said preparations for the World championship start today (Friday) with the arrival of Sensei Karin Prinsloo from South Africa.

Ditlhong said they have picked a team of athletes who won medals at the 2015 All Africa Games. He said Prinsloo would be in Botswana for two days only to share technical aspects of the sport. He said it was cheaper to bring in an instructor than send the team outside.
