BNOC CEO hunt raises eyebrows

Wedu Motswetla has been acting since 2020. Last year, interviews were conducted to fill the position but the preferred candidate turned down the post. The BNSC Board is under pressure to appoint a CEO after Tapiwa Marobela-Masunga, who had been offered the job, changed her mind. Game Mothibi, who headed the International Working Group for women in sport secretariat was the next in line, with former BNSC sport development manager Steve Bothasitse the third choice. Motswetla was at number four, the reports say. “After Marobela-Masunga turned them down, they decided to head hunt because they did not get their preferred candidate.

It is surprising because one would have thought that they would have gone with a candidate who was shortlisted,” a source said. The source further said one of the candidates who is being head hunted did not make it into the top list. This publication is informed that there was drama after the advert was pulled down before deadline for submissions. Marobela-Masunga said she turned down the offer due to her personal and professional reasons. Bothasitse said he went for the interview but has no idea as to what is happening.
