'Snubbed' Karateka Dobolo Cries Foul

Dobolo retired from active karate last year to introduce a new style, Ryushin-Kan, focusing on youth development. Though he started the style on a higher note last year and staged strings of successful tournaments, his efforts to register as Botswana Karate Association (BOKA) affiliate hit a snag after other members expressed doubts over his capabilities to run a karate federation.

This was in contrary to BOKA executive's approval and acceptance of the new development, which was only rejected by few delegates. BOKA constitution, section 4.4.2, states that membership granted by the executive committee shall be ratified at the AGM by the general congress.
