Portfolio
North and South: A tale of two divisions
The Debswana First Division South and North divisions feature teams with contrasting backgrounds, with the North division having mostly rookies and only three teams with Premier League experience: Motlakase Power Dynamos, Sankoyo Bush Bucks, and BR Highlanders. The recent promotion of Nico United and TAFIC has left the First Division North lighter on experienced teams. The leading trio in the promotion race are separated by just two points, with a familiar face likely to return to the Premier League from the First Division North. Motlakase is noted for reaching the final of the 2011 Coca-Cola Cup, the closest any of the 12 FDN teams have come to winning a major trophy.
Communities petition British High Commission over hunting bill
Botswana communities, represented by the Ngamiland Council of Non-Governmental Organisations and the Chobe Enclave Conservation Trust, petitioned the British High Commission against a proposed UK bill banning trophy hunting imports. They argue that trophy hunting is crucial for their livelihood and conservation efforts, and a ban could increase poaching and human-wildlife conflicts.
BFL saga: Eyes on the ball
The Botswana Football League (BFL) is currently embroiled in a contentious battle for control, with both sides claiming victory and football suffering as a result of halted action. The conflict is marked by a disregard for the rules of engagement, drawing a comparison to the lack of adherence to the Geneva Convention in warfare.
I am still in charge- Zakhem
Zakhem was ousted from the Botswana Football League board following a meeting in Palapye with the approval of the majority of Premier League clubs. He was also suspended as a BFL shareholder and removed from a subsequent Botswana Football Association meeting aimed at resolving the situation.
Sexwale in Africa: who betrayed who?
The article discusses the response to Tokyo Sexwale's campaign for the FIFA presidency, highlighting the lack of enthusiasm from his home continent, Africa. As FIFA prepares for the presidential vote on February 26 to elect a successor to Sepp Blatter, there is a sense of disappointment in Sexwale's campaign, which critics have deemed complacent. The continent had high hopes for a strong campaign, but it appears to have been lackluster, raising questions about Sexwale's ability to secure the position and the support he has from his fellow Africans.
The stumble that stunned a nation
The article discusses the expectations placed on Nijel Amos, a prominent athlete from Botswana, during the World Championships. Amos, known for his exceptional performance in athletics, particularly after winning a silver medal at the London 2012 Olympics, was considered Botswana's best chance for a medal at the World Championships. The article highlights his impressive track record, especially his victories in six out of seven races against the world record holder, David Rudisha, since 2012.
