SEEKING RE-ELECTION: Tingwane
Botswana Chess Federation (BCF) is bracing for its Annual General Meeting (AGM) which is expected to be held around July this year.
The current committee’s four-year term comes to an end this year after assuming office in 2017.
BCF Secretary-General (SG) Mokwaledi Tingwane told Voice Sport that despite a challenging tenure they were able to achieve most of their targets.
“We were elected into office four years back, and it was really hard as the national league was last played back in 2010 and we managed to resurrect it and it was played regularly as per one of our mandate when we assumed office,” he said.
PRODIGY: Naledi Marape
Three young local chess players will face some of the best brains in the world when they fight in the corner of Team Africa in the 2020 Online World Cadets and Youth Chess Championships to be held on 19th-23rd December.
Botswana Chess Federation (BCF) Publicity Secretary Mokwaledi Tingwane is told Voice Sport that Naledi Marape, 14, Refilwe Gabatshwarwe, 15, and Desire Machinya,18, will be an invaluable addition to Team Africa.
