Botswana Netball Association (BONA) has indefinitely postponed its elective Annual General Meeting (AGM) which was scheduled for this past weekend.
The virtual elective meeting would have ushered in a new executive committee to steer the BONA ship for the next four years.
The AGM was to be held under the theme: “Women in leadership: Achieving an equal future in a Covid-19 world.”
However, in a bizarre move, a day before the elective AGM this past Friday, BONA announced the postponement of the elective meeting.
The announcement came barely four (4) days after the association had announced the names of contenders for the BONA executive committee positions.
