LTTA boss seeks re-election

SEBONGILE MATHE

MASERU – The Lesotho Table Tennis Association (LTTA) will hold its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on June 16, a crucial meeting that will see the election of a new leadership team.

Current president, Chabeli Mohatlane, will be seeking re-election, outlining a vision to propel Lesotho table tennis to new heights.

His commitment to taking the sport to the next level is central to his candidacy, stating that his decision is fueled by a strong hope and ambition to elevate national table tennis programmes to unprecedented levels of success.

A key factor in Mohatlane’s decision to seek re-election is the imminent arrival of table tennis equipment from the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF).

He emphasised the importance of ensuring this valuable equipment reaches its intended destination and benefits Basotho players. This, he argued, underscore the ITTF’s confidence in his leadership and his vision to significantly advance table tennis in Lesotho.

Mohatlane added that his re-election is crucial for Lesotho’s table tennis to thrive. He cited recent successes, including election to the African Union Sports Council Region 5 Table Tennis Confederation as PARA Executive Committee, the ATTF PARA Commission Vice-Chairmanship, and the Commonwealth Table Tennis Federation as African Executive Board.

He also noted his election to the Lesotho National Olympic Committee (LNOC) AS Executive Member and his candidacy for the Swythling Club International.

He expressed confidence that his continued leadership will open doors for Lesotho, bolstering table tennis opportunities for all Basotho.

Mohatlane outlined a vision to expand participation across demographics-including people with disabilities, the elderly, women, and children and to create accessible table tennis facilities in work place, school, homes, and parks throughout the country.
