 We appeal for support

Mmamalome


Mmamalome we need your assistance to help
us find sponsorship. We are a group of 15 girls residing in Masuaditshwene ward in Molepolole. We have formed a football team as we believe that sport can take us somewhere and earn a living out of our talent. Presently we are finding it difficult to run the team due to financial constraints and we are appealing to companies to help us realise our dream. We need support of any kind.

The interesting thing about your initiative is that it is not only a community building move, but a very unique idea started by brave young ladies. It is quite unusual for women your age to have a passion for football to the extent of voluntarily forming a team that you want to professionalise. What you have to internalise however, is that the noble project will obviously encounter teething problems, chief of which is lack of sufficient operational funds. Surviving this stage of the project will attest to the true bold unshakeable character of all of you. Start by getting somebody to help you draw a detailed business plan that will show your needs, growth potential, and all other ways of mitigating your disadvantages as a football team. The youth office in your area can help in this regard, but you should not be shy
to approach private companies for sponsorship provided you have satisfactorily done your groundwork. I wish you all the best in this novel expedition.

Editors Note

We return once more with another mouthwatering edition. We bring you the Miss Botswana 2026 as our cover story to encourage young beautiful ones out there that hard work and perseverance always pays.

Our youth need to know that their God-given talent can be utilised to earn them a living. Be it in sport, beauty pageants or any pursuit they wish to undertake.

Life is not always about having a white or blue-collar job, waking each day to sit behind a desk in an office or working for someone or some company. It is all about maximising every little opportunity we have to accomplish that, which we desire.

We also feature a story of the Botswana Sports Awards, which saw a young man of the moment, a 400 metre World Champion and a national records breaker, Collen Kebinatshipi become the toast of the awards night. He came out of the night as the biggest winner.

This edition also brings to you the Foot and Mouth Disease painful reality as the nation continues to grapple with having very limited supply of beef.

Lesotho Jazz Music artist, Budhaza once sang that he has never seen a feast with no meat (Mokete o senang nama, kere ha ke so o bone). The reality is that this disease has truly affected one of the nation’s staple foods, beef. Lets all do what is necessary to ensure it does not continue to become a thorn in the flesh (beef) of our beloved cattle-rearing nation. 

This edition also contains a solemn feature of a nation in grief following the death of its 3rd President, Dr Festus Gontebanye Mogae. The distinguished statesman was widely loved and appreciated for so many things that he was to Botswana and the world.

We see it fit to share with you his story and to help you find closure in this edition. Rra Nametso was laid to rest in Phomolong at the upmarket Phakalane Suburb in the North of the capital city, Gaborone.

In other news, we share with you stories of  Southern African Development Community (SADC) regional integration. We share a story of late former South Africa President and global icon, Dr Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela use of an airstrip in Kanye during the apartheid struggle.

We feature also a story about a monument built in Lobatse to remember Dr Mandela. So sit back and enjoy the read as well as many other interesting articles.
