Botswana just speedran its way into hosting another massive international tournament, and the person running the show is a finance heavyweight nobody saw coming. Dhana Ramasamy got tapped to chair the Local Organising Committee for WTT Youth Contender Gaborone 2026, a youth table tennis event pulling young paddlers, their coaches, and tournament refs from across the globe.

And yeah, her resume is genuinely stacked. She handled the books for the Botswana Chess Federation and the Botswana Boxing Association, ran treasurer duties at WASBO (the Women and Sport Association of Botswana), and sat on the Executive Finance Committee for the Debswana World Relays 2026. The woman basically has a side quest in every sporting org in the country.

She even ran the 2025 Badminton Tournament through the Botswana Tamil Cultural Association Trust, grinding out grassroots events before leveling up to this WTT gig. Botswana's clearly going all-in on becoming a legit destination for big international competitions, and handing the reins to someone with this much governance XP feels like a genuinely smart play.
