The future of Botswana Athletics Association (BAA) hangs in the balance due to non-compliance by clubs with the Registrar of Societies (ROS) regulations. The revelation was made during a Special General Meeting (SGM) held over the weekend.

Chairperson of the Constitution Taskforce, Legojane Kebaitse, revealed that most clubs have not re-registered although societies are expected to re-register under the new Incorporated Societies Act 2022.

He said if they fail to re-register by April 2026 deadline, they cease to exist, which will affect BAA.
