The Re Ba Bona Ha programme is back in action after two years lay-off due to the outbreak of COVID-19. The programme held its first festival that involved three sporting codes at Ba Isago University grounds over the weekend.

Re Ba Bona Ha is a grassroots sports development project of the Botswana National Sport Commission (BNSC), which targets children of years five to 15 in different sporting disciplines.

Some of these players have lost a lot of time during the lay-off.
