IN ACTION: Tshepiso Rebatenne
A day after President Mokgweetsi Masisi announced the suspension of all sports and recreational activities, Botswana Table Tennis Association (BTTA) staged a tournament dubbed Phoenix Assurance Top 16 Invitational on Saturday.
According to BTTA Publicity Secretary Arthur Kgaswe only the top 16 seeded players from both men and women categories took part in the tournament in an effort to manage numbers and comply with Covid-19 regulations.
On the men’s results, Bakang Moloka, 24, of Moshupa Spinners Table Tennis Club defeated Sean Dekop of Nhabe Table Tennis Club 3-2 at the finals of the tourney while Tshepiso Rebatenne, 34, Nhabe Table Tennis Club walloped Olorato Ramagapu of Smash Maniacs Table Tennis Club 3-0.
TOP 16 PLAYER: Olerato Ramagapu
Botswana Table Tennis Association (BTTA) Public Relations Officer (PRO), Tiro Motswasele, says Mamlathan & Associates have agreed to give their top 16 ranked players in both men and women categories a P230.00 meal voucher for February 2021.
Mamlathan & Associates who are now on their 6th year running, are a wholly citizen-owned emerging audit firm which offers a combination of quality services that include accounting taxation, advisory, and company secretarial and consulting services.
Motswasele told Voice Sport this week that the sponsorship came at the right time as most of their players have been struggling financially since the outbreak of Covid-19.
