Tennis boss accused of vote rigging

BTA elections are usually not far from controversy, with intense fighting characterising the 2017 polls, which saw the end of Nelson Amanze’s 17-year rule.  Fichani is seeking a second term, but his deputy, Oaitse Thipe has raised his hand to challenge for the position.

 Fichani is said to have deliberately revived dormant clubs; Thebephatshwa, Sir Seretse Khama Barracks, Eastern Military Garrison in Selebi-Phikwe and Francistown Donga, in order to get their votes.
