#Amos offered P4.5 million for Olympic Silver Pledges to sell to the highest bidder
The country’s most famous piece of sporting memorabilia, Nigel Amos’ 2012 Olympic Silver medal, could soon be lost to Botswana forever.
A foreigner has reportedly offered the 27-year-old athlete a whopping P4.5 million in exchange for his historic medal – and the Marobela marvel is keen to cash in!
Currently in the care of the Botswana National Olympic Committee (BNOC), Amos recently wrote to the organisation, demanding they return the medal he won in London so he can sell it.
The 800m runner, presently in camp with Team Botswana as the nation builds towards the Tokyo Olympics in August, plans to use the bulk of the proceeds to give back to the sport that made him.
The six-month long hunt for Botswana National Sport Commission (BNSC) chief executive officer (CEO) may be over.
According to sources within the BNSC, the commission has identified current acting CEO Tuelo Serufho as its man for the job.
Serufho was seconded to the BNSC from sister organisation Botswana National Olympic Committee (BNOC).
Serufho was appointed acting BNSC CEO after the departure of Falcon Sediomo’s retirement.
He was allegedly offered contractual extension but opted to retire after having spent five year as the head of BNSC secretariat.
“As a norm his name was sent to Cabinet for approval and they have since done that. It is a matter of time before he could be revealed to the public” said the sources.
The boards of the two organisations have since proposed three models for consideration to government.
Sunday Standard Sport is in position of a leaked document that the BNSC/BNOC drafted for consideration my sport ministry.
This is after the Minster of Youth Empowerment, Sport and Culture Development (MYSC), Tumiso Rakgare, aggressively spearheaded the initiative to merge the two sports bodies to work together.
The first model they have proposed is “
Total merger”. Under this model, BNSC and BNOC will merge into one organisation, which will be a civil entity. Under this model, the board of the new organisation would be elected by National Sport Associations/Federations.
