Thebe in trouble as deadline looms

He is now going to miss an international race scheduled for Madrid, Spain tomorrow after failing to acquire a visa. According to information reaching Mmegi Sport, Thebe was supposed to travel on Monday.

“For him to apply for a visa, the Botswana Athletics Association (BAA) should have written a cover letter. His manager in Italy had made his travel arrangements. But it seems like BAA did not want to release him. But then the association turned around and said Thebe’s manager had not communicated with them. They felt that there was interference since his manager was pushing them, ” a source said.
