Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>The revision of the Botswana Badmington Association (BBA)\u2019s constitution is a key task on the agenda for the newly formed committee, says association\u2019s acting president Essence Gaodumelwe.<\/b><\/p>\n

Speaking during the association\u2019s Annual General Meeting in Gaborone on Saturday, Gaodumelwe said amending the constitution and ensuring that BBA members were in good compliance were the committee\u2019s current top priorities.<\/p>\n

\u201cFinally, the dead end of overhauling the constitution has come to an end and Register of Societies has given the association the green light to engage in the exercise to overhaul the constitution that was legalised on October 21, 1991,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He stated that the exercise had been on the shelves for the past decades, as it was challenged in 2014, 2016 and 2018 respectively.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoreover, at a meeting hosted by Botswana National Sports Commission (BNSC) on May 30, with four members of exco, we promised BNSC that before the end of this year, the constitution of the association would be in good standing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Gaodumelwe said BBA\u2019s future would never be secure as long as there was still load shedding in sports governance and constitution literacy.<\/p>\n

So in moving badminton forward, he said BBA would accelerate its efforts to ensure that skill development and technical competence within its education programmes were better aligned to its needs.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this, we shall remain constant in our goal of developing the requisite skills base to meet the demands of today\u2019s globalised economy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

On other issues, Gaodumelwe said the Shuttletime Deployment programme had been instrumental in introducing badminton to children and promoting the sport\u2019s values of respect, teamwork and sportsmanship.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are pleased to report that the programme\u2019s continuity has been maintained and will continue to play an essential role in the development of badminton in the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Gaodumelwe also congratulated national coordinator, Muniovanda Kandjou on being named Humans Shuttle Time Honour as the finest Shuttle Time Coordinator for the month of September on the African continent.<\/p>\n
