Likeleli Tampane announced on Saturday. She also noted that even though the Covid-19 pandemic is not over<\/p>\n<p>yet, her ministry is working in collaboration with NACOSEC to hasten commencement of sports activities. In an exclusive interview with Informative Sports Mashale indicated that her appointment came as a huge<\/p>\n<p>surprise to her. She however said she is awaiting the terms of reference from the committee she will be working with. \u201cI was happy to hear this but I had mixed emotions as I don\u2019t know what the exact<\/p>\n<p>expectations are, but through my experience with the Lesotho Netball Association (LNA) administration, I believe the engagements will truly be fruitful.<\/p>\n<p>This is a good opportunity for me to present clearly how sports can aid in good health, to even benefit in the fight for COVD-19,\u201d she said. Mashale added that she is<\/p>\n<p>eager to sit down with the Ministry of Health (MoH) to share how it can employ sports for upgrading communities living in the rural and urban areas. She<\/p>\n<p>stressed that COVID-19 pandemic really impacted the sports, thus this has had an effect on vulnerable players who make their living through sporting activities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome players were preparing for international competitions which usually come with better prizes, but they missed that opportunity as well,\u201d she notified. She<\/p>\n<p>said to overcome this challenge, they requested relief funds from the now defunct National Emergency Command Center (NECC) for players who earn a living through sports.<\/p>\n<p>However she said that move did not bear any fruits. On the other hand, Lesotho Football Association (LeFA) media department on 19th September 2020, issued a press statement to confirm their meetings with NACOSEC<\/p>\n<p>through delegations that were led by LeFA Secretary General (SG) Mokhosi Mohapi for the resumption of football. New developments show that NACOSEC appreciated their presentation and has now<\/p>\n<p>proceeded to the ministerial sub-committee wherein, this week they will be invited to discuss the matter further with NACOSEC Technical Committee with the hope of receiving a \u201cgreen light\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"299\" height=\"168\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13751 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/static.africa-press.net\/lesotho\/sites\/62\/2022\/04\/postMeadiaimg_10_1.jpg\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"189\" height=\"267\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13752 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/static.africa-press.net\/lesotho\/sites\/62\/2022\/04\/postMeadiaimg_10_2.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/lesotho\">Lesotho<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Lesotho.
