The Botswana Softball Association (BSA) committee faces criticism as softball prepares to hold an elective Annual General Meeting (AGM) on April 23 in Mahalapye.

The incumbent president, Katlholo Mosimanegape,, and his secretary-general, Nozie Malunga Payet, have shown interest in remaining on the committee.
