Ookeditse Malesu says he is done with contesting for positions after suffering his second defeat at the Botswana National Olympic Committee (BNOC) board elections over the weekend.

Malesu's dreams of leading the BNOC were shattered yet again over the weekend after receiving five votes, which were the lowest during the highly contested elections. Tirelo Mukokomani received six while the winner, Botsang Tshenyego received an overwhelming majority of 14 votes. Malesu had a strong team that included former Botswana Athletics Association (BAA) president, Thari Mooketsi.

The entire team was rejected by the Federations. Mooketsi received four votes while Tshepo Sitale won the position of senior vice president with 20 votes. Boineelo Hardy was the biggest upset of the day after garnering 19 votes to become the new second vice president while Tiny Kgetlwane received only four. It was a close contest between Michael Moroka and Patrick Moesi for first vice president.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
