Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>Lesotho volleyball giants Red Skins have failed to raise funds for the 2023 Zone 6 Senior Indoor Volleyball Club Championship they are set to host in December.<\/p>\n

Red Skins will host the competition together with four other local volleyball clubs \u2013 Lesotho Defence Force (LDF), Lesotho Mounted Police Station (LMPS) and Rivers \u2013 and the tournament is expected to start on December 7 and end 10 days later.<\/p>\n

Without any funds or sponsors coming in, Red Skins will have to foot the bill from their pockets for the tournament which will see teams from 10 countries converge on Maseru.<\/p>\n

Among the participating nations, Botswana is expected to bring the biggest contingent with 12 teams, with Zambia following closely behind with nine teams while Zimbabwe is set to be represented by six teams.<\/p>\n

Two weeks ago, Red Skins participated in the Elite Cup in Gauteng, South Africa, which was hosted by Aqua Darshan Volleyball. Red Skins hoped to win the tournament and return home with a hefty jackpot but they only collected M5 000 which was won by the men\u2019s team.<\/p>\n

A gala dinner that Red Skins hosted last weekend also failed to generate income due to low attendance and speaking to thepost on Tuesday, the club\u2019s vice-captain, Moleboheng Mofolo, said they will have to push on with what they have to host the tournament.<\/p>\n

Mofolo said they no longer have time to come up with other means to raise funds. \u201cTournaments will require us to find sponsorships and we do not have time now, we have to focus and train well,\u201d Mofolo said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur coach already told us to camp from this week but rain is our biggest challenge because we cannot continue with the training,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Mofolo said Red Skins are fortunate that participating teams are going to take care of their accommodation and catering. She said if Red Skins had to provide those services, they would not have been able to manage.<\/p>\n

She pleaded with individuals, organisations and companies to help the team, whether it is by offering accommodation, food, or whatever little they may have.<\/p>\n
