LESOTHO ANNUAL SPORT AWARDS-LASA 2ND EDITION
FINALISTS ANNOUNCEMENT INFORMATION PACK
In
April 2017, the Lesotho Sport and Recreation Commission (LSRC) embarked on the
celebration of the Lesotho Annual Sports Awards (LASA) in a bid to recognise,
embrace and reward all Basotho who are excelling in their respective sport
disciplines. This followed the 2016 Inaugural Sport Legacy Awards which were
tailored to honour those legends who had continuously contributed to the
development of sports in the country since Lesotho began participating in
sports. This year’s performance for the period of January to December 2017
shall be celebrated in the LASA 2nd Edition which will be held on
the 17th March 2018 at the Lesotho National Convention Centre.
We would like to thank the media, sporting fraternity, Evaluation Panel,
the Basotho nation and the sponsors (Lesotho Times, Lesotho Flour Mills,
All4One Sports and Brand It) for all their support. We are still awaiting
feedback from other potential Sponsors and it shall be shared once available.
The following are the finalists for the LASA
categories and they are in no particular order:

DISQULIFIED CATEGORIES
1. Disability-
Sportsman
of the year with a Disability
Sportswoman
of the year with a Disability
Reason:
There was no convincing performance to be awarded in the big event like LASA 2nd
Edition
2. Sports
School of the year
Competition
was not fair for the Primary Schools, Secondary Schools and Tertiary
Institutions to compete in one category since their financial muscles are
extremely different. The Evaluation panel advised that this category be broken
into 3 to allo LePSSA, LISA and LUCSA members to compete as per their National
Federation.
