The Ordinary General Meeting (OGM) of the Paralympic Association of Botswana (PASSOBO) that was scheduled for the weekend in Gaborone was postponed due to lack of quorum.

Out of the six PASSOBO affiliates, only three attended the OGM. PASSOBO president, Titus Letshwiti told the meeting that they could not proceed since they were not forming a quorum. “The Constitution is clear that we could only proceed if we are at least three quarters.

Letshwiti also said there was nothing that could be done but to set an Extra Ordinary Meeting that should be held in the next 21 days. “The term of office for the current executive committee ended in March 2021 and today’s meeting was meant to give us direction on the way forward. When our term came to an end, it was during State of Emergency and sport was suspended.
