Minister of Sport and Arts, Jacob Kelebeng, says the appointment of a substantive Botswana National Sports Commission (BNSC) CEO would be done soon.

This follows a prolonged recruitment process which started in May, when the office bearer, Tuelo Serufho's contract expired. Eyes have been on the BNSC to make the substantive appointment after Makuke Makuke served as interim CEO since Serufho's departure. Makuke was given a six-month contract, which has since been renewed as the hunt for a permanent officer continues. “The appointment will be made anytime, either in December or January, and let the process unfold itself. What I know is that the process is on, as to who will be appointed, we will know when it is complete,” Kelebeng said.

For his part, BNSC Board chairperson, Marumo Morule, said citing the BNSC Act, the CEO is appointed by the minister in consultation with the board.
