From grassroots participation to elite competition, investment in sport has helped create pathways for athletes to excel and has seen Botswana achieve world-class performances across different sporting codes, bringing pride and recognition to the nation.

Speaking at the gathering, the BNSC Chief Executive Officer Mr. Olebile Sikwane, expressed appreciation to both past and present staff for their dedication, commitment and contribution to the development of sport in Botswana. The CEO acknowledged that the progress made over the years is a result of the collective efforts of those who have served and continue to serve in advancing the sporting agenda.
