BOKA suspends affiliate as fights escalate

ISKF had called for an urgent meeting to push the BOKA to discuss pressing issues, which include the financial report. The federation had written a letter calling for a Special General Meeting (SGM) tomorrow but BOKA instructed ISKF to call off the meeting as it was unconstitutional.

But ISKF was defiant and BOKA secretary-general, Karabo Samuel slapped their affiliate with a suspension letter yesterday. “Following your unilateral call for the SGM, BOKA wrote to you explaining how unconstitutional your act is and instructed you to withdraw the invitations. In full light of your unconstitutional act, you responded by stating that the meeting will continue as planned. Your act does not only undermine authority but brings BOKA and karate into disrepute, contrary to BOKA code of conduct,” Samuel said through the letter.
