Karate war lands at High Court

. According to the court papers, the applicant in the matter is BOKA while the respondents are Moses Tubego, Boitumelo Koone, Bose Caiphus, Veronica Chube, Kaone Molefe, Amos Sianga, Moemedi Mpebe, Clifford Tshosa, Keorapetse Mogopodi, Ookeditse Malesu, Etololang Serumola, Kealeboga Madisa, Phenyo Seiteo, Lemogang Koolepole, Mpho Kenosi, Dick Othusitse and Angelo Tlagae.

However, some individuals who attended the SGM such as Christopher Ponatshego, Tshepho Bathai, Joe Molodi, Keone Kgorotlhe have not been cited in the court papers. Speaking to SportMonitor, BOKA president, Mpho Bakwadi, said he had no option but to approach the High Court because some people had created two centres of power for the organisation. “The only solution was to nip it in the bud. We cannot discuss anything with non-BOKA members and the matter has now escalated. Their intention is to destroy, not to solve any problems. They want to take the office through fraudulent means and I cannot allow that. They have even tarnished my name in the process; enough is enough. I have requested them to give me SGM minutes, they refused. Let us allow the court to deal with this matter,” he said.
