Funds threaten netball's hosting hopes

According to information reaching MmegiSport, the Botswana National Sport Commission (BNSC) wants BONA to submit a budget. “BNSC and BONA held a meeting this week where they were told to work on a budget. They want evidence that BONA has enough funds to run the games.

You must also realise that when it comes to funding, there is no money from Africa Netball. The hosts are expected to cover most of the expenses,” a source said. The official said BONA depends on teams funding to host the games but at the moment, the budget remains a stumbling block. It is for this reason that the BNSC has asked BONA to work on the budget. BONA spokesperson, Mokeresete Mokeresete, said the meeting with BNSC was not only meant to discuss the budget but was a checklist for everything.
