We were unaware of Morama's gender - BNSC

Morama was quoted in a weekend paper as having said she was a man and not a woman. It is alleged that the BNSC knew Morama's gender all along, but made him compete as a girl. But BNSC chairperson, Solly Reikeletseng has been quick to dismiss the talk as 'nonsense' meant to tarnish the image of the council.

"I do not know the intentions of anyone who would say such things, but there is no truth in that," he said. He said the BNSC engaged experts to conduct gender tests on Morama, which revealed then that she was a girl. Reikeletseng said Morama's issue was complex. "I am not a doctor but I think her body evolved with time," he said.
