BAA misled the nation

The Botswana Gazette: "“I heard them misleading you (the media), saying that the team was prepared but they did not ask me as the team manager. The team was not prepared,” he said.
Dube, who was at the press briefing, noted that one journalist directed a question to him asking about the preparedness of the team but he was denied the opportunity to respond to the question. Instead, Gaseitsewe responded by saying the team was prepared.

“The team had a two-week training schedule and that was not enough,” the former 800 meters runner indicated. He said the main reason behind this is that the Association lost focus; diverting its focus from preparing the team for the competitions to preparing for the hosting of the competition which many believe was publicised than the Botswana team. He further revealed that since voted into office in February, the Executive Committee has never met to discuss anything pertaining to the preparation of the team. He said that their boss, Bantsi, was never open to suggestions."
