Walls continue to close in on former Botswana Karate Association (BOKA) former president, Tshepho Bathai as he gets kicked out of AUSC Region 5 karate executive committee.

Bathai was removed from the Region 5 committee together with the referee, Boston Rakgampi.

Bathai was appointed as AUSC Region 5 secretary-general by the regional presidents in 2021. Rakhampu was appointed to be part the of Region 5 referees commission in 2022 for four years. He was also the BOKA referees commission chairperson, a position he has lost too. Bernard Morapedi is the new referees' commission chairperson. Other members are Webster Lentswe (vice chairperson), Brian Dibotelo (secretary), Mompati Kwati (member), and Obitseng Molefhe (member).
