Clean up this netball mess
EDITOR — One of the reasons netball is almost dead in Uganda, is because of bad leadership. You therefore need not ask why this once very popular sport for instance today has no sponsors.
In 1996 when Uganda hosted the East and Central Senior Netball Championship, government gave sh42m to construct a modern court. But no dressing rooms were built while cracks were already evident before even the competition ended.
If you want to get a feel of the corruption in UNF, look at the team selection of the national side that went to South Africa. Many players didn’t qualify!
Elections are due next week. My prayer is that the respective authorities give us proper accountability. It’s time we rescued our beautiful game.

Bravo URU
EDITOR — Let me take this opportunity to commend our rugby national side.
The team really did Uganda proud by winning the CAR Africa Cup in Madagascar.
It wouldn’t be fare to heap all the praises on the players. URU deserves a pat on the back. The fruits we are enjoying now are a result good management. Bravo URU.
