Botswana Netball Association (BONA) is facing a growing crisis amidst reports of a breakdown in relations between the Mpopi Moatlhodi-led committee and the affiliates.

An Extraordinary General Meeting (EOGM) that was to be held last weekend was adjourned, and clubs are accusing the National Executive Committee (NEC) of ignoring them. The meeting was to approve the financial reports and the new constitution. However, it failed to form a quorum as some clubs did not show up. Clubs in the Southern Zone wrote a letter to the NEC on September 17, requesting a meeting.

We believe that this meeting will provide an opportunity to align our efforts with BONA’s objectives and ensure effective delivery of netball development within the Southern Zone,” the letter reads.
