THE National team to the Africa Badminton junior championship due next week in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, has been boosted by another sh1m from Bank of Uganda.
With top seed Gloria Najjuka and Jimmy Okubi getting two air tickets courtesy of the Africa Badminton Federation (ABF), the bank came in to rescue their operation expenses, including accommodation for the five-day event set to start Sunday.
“That is so far the only private sponsorship we have received. We are still expecting more sponsorship for other team members,†said Kabindi.
Monica Nakityo, Lindah Damba and Rose Nakalya are the other top seeds awaiting sponsorship.
