Recreational life in early Gaborone (2)

The new club was officially opened by Seretse Khama in 1967. It’s first President  was the Director of Agriculture, Gordon Hampson and one of its first captains of the club was Fr. Leonard Devitt of St. Joseph’s College, Kgale.

Another sporting initiative that had its origins in Mafikeng was the Notwane Club which was established there in 1964 in preparation for the move to Gaborone, it being felt that it was better to leave the old Gaborone Club to its own devices and to create an entirely new kind of club which would be free from racial issues.
