BNSC General Meeting

Four out of six candidates nominated by various sporting codes have been rejected ahead of the Botswana National Sports Council (BNSC) Annual General Meeting to be held tomorrow.

The rejected four include treasurer, Boitshoko Tsiane and additional member, Ookeditse Malesu. Others are Irene Ntelamo and Keenese Katisenge.  Only two candidates, Daniel Molaodi and Gift Nkwe, got the thumbs up. Malesu, who has been serving as an additional member yesterday told Mmegi Sport that he is unaware of the reasons behind the rejection of his nomination. “From what I understand, it means I do not qualify for nomination. I have written a letter to them demanding an explanation, but they have not responded yet,” he said.

Malesu also said he will wait for the BNSC’s response but if he does not get a positive response, he would let go.  “I am a sportsperson, I volunteer to serve my nation and if they do not see my worth, I will put my energy somewhere else,” he said.  Malesu said the result of his rejected nomination would affect the codes that nominated him being bodybuilding and weighlifting, handball, Paralympic and Horse society.
