The Botswana National Sport Commission’s (BNSC) annual grant is down by P10 million this year, as funding for affiliates is expected to take a knock. From the affiliates, the Botswana Karate Association (BOKA) is feeling the pinch over declining funding after receiving only P500,000.

The karate body is in tier two of the BNSC's funding system.
