BOBA CONSTITUTION BLOCKS, BUT HIRES? THE DOUBLE STANDARDS MUST FALLWith the BOBA elections set for this June, the boxing corridors are already buzzing with names and tension.Let’s talk contradictions.Pro boxing affiliates like Scud Khubamang (rumoured for President) and Bond Ngulula (Vice President) are reportedly eyeing top leadership posts, but are constitutionally blocked from contesting due to their alignment with the professional scene. Yet these same individuals continue to be officially hired to coach the national amateur development team.How does that work?How does the same system that says you can’t lead amateur boxing turn around and say please come train our amateurs? If you're good enough to be trusted with Botswana’s Olympic hopes, surely you're good enough to be considered for office?Meanwhile, within BOBA-aligned structures, incumbent President Gilbert Khunwane is expected to defend his position, challenged by Dirang Thipe. The Vice Presidency may see a contest between Konkomi Mogotsakgotla, Hlanganani Moses Digwere and Pheko Tsheko, while the Secretary General post may go to Irene Ntelamo,Tshiamo Moalosi, Lefiri Moremi or Taolo Tlouetsile,the aforementioned two of whom are products of the Dr Thato Patlakwe regime. Competitions Coordinator candidates are Boitumelo Taolo and Mathata Thingwane,for Add Members Marobela Marobela and Dintwa Sloca are leading the race,with no other names known so far.But here’s the thing... rules that block talent while benefiting from it are flawed. If pro affiliates are qualified to coach, they are qualified to lead. The constitution must be revisited,not to weaken it, but to reflect reality and open space for everyone driving the sport forward.It’s not about sides. It’s about fairness, integrity, and progress.#sportsnation#BOBAElections#BotswanaBoxing#BoxingForAll ... See MoreSee Less
