Visa delays cost cross-country team

The Serbian Embassy in Pretoria rejected the visa applications as they were submitted late by the Botswana Athletics Association (BAA).

Team manager, Isaac Mbise told MmegiSport that they were informed by BAA that visa applications had been rejected after late submission. “We received that information a week before we could travel. It was a shock to us because all along we thought we had done everything on time,” said the disappointed Mbise.
