Three sporting codes dropped from Africa Beach games

The Botswana National Olympic Committee (BNOC) caretaker chief executive officer, Tebogo Kesupile told Sport Monitor on Friday that the three codes were dropped due to financial challenges.

She explained that the Botswana National Sport Commission (BNSC) took long to respond to their request for funding. “The BNSC took long to respond to our request. We even wondered if we would send any team to the Games. The response came very late. They finally responded telling us that they will finance our preparations for the games.
