Kanjala elected in regional board
The Malawi Olympic Committee (MOC) president Oscar Kanjala has been elected into the Confederation of Southern African National Olympic Committee (Cosanoc) Board.
Kanjala confirmed on Wednesday about his four-year term. He was elected during a Cosanoc General Assembly held on May 19 in Johannesburg, South Africa.
“It is the first time for Malawi to have elected president on the board, previous presidents were only co-opted,” Kanjala explained on Tuesday.
Sogga secretary general Muriel Hofer, who was elected secretary general of the organisation after a deadlock of two rounds where she overcame contention from Zimbabwean Anna Mnguni, confirmed the positions.
“There are four areas that the board is looking at strengthening this [grouping] which is the finalising of the Cosanoc Strategic Plan, assisting sports organisations with their talent identification programmes, the hosting of Level 2 coaching courses across the region and the provision of technical and logistical support for the Anoca 2014 Youth Games which will be held in Botswana,” Hofer told Swaziland Times newspaper.
