New era beckons for sports

As the nation gathered at the National Stadium this morning at 6am, it was all jubilations as Batswana welcomed their newly inaugurated President, Advocate Duma Boko, which many hope will bring change they long for. However, in their crosshairs will be a restoration of the economy that those from the sport sector want to be a part of.

According to the University of Kentucky-based sport expert, Professor Tshepang Tshube, the new government should create long-term solutions to the problems that face Botswana sport. Tshube stated school sports is a policy, administrative as well as political issue which requires a legislative solution. He said government should reflect on the role school sports used to play in yesteryears before the Act was changed.
