Maxwell Jele, the new Secretary General of ANOCA Zone VI, is currently in Gaborone, Botswana, on a two-day mission to attend bilateral meetings with Mr. Stanley Mutoya, the CEO of AUSC Region 5. These meetings are taking place at the AUSC Region 5 offices, with the primary goal of strengthening cooperation between the two organizations.
Recently, ANOCA Zone VI held its Elective Congress in Malawi, where a new Board was elected. This was followed by a handover ceremony at the EOCGA Offices in Lobamba. It is noteworthy that ANOCA Zone VI and AUSC Region 5 signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in December 2023, outlining areas of collaboration between the two institutions.
The engagements over the next two days will expand on this MOU, focusing on developing an implementation plan for key areas of interest, particularly in athlete development. Additionally, there will be discussions on maximizing the resources available to both organizations to ensure maximum impact in joint programs, including the Region 5 Youth Games, which are held every two years.
Mr. Jele also took the opportunity to pay a courtesy call to the Botswana National Olympic Committee.
