BPL close in on BTC, Mascom deals

The league has been under the financial backing of Botswana Telecommunications Corporation Limited (BTC) while Mascom Wireless bankrolled the Mascom Top 8.  

There were fears that after last season’s chaotic scenes that marred the two competitions, the two sponsors would not be willing to renew their relationship with the BPL. However, indications are that the two companies are willing to continue working with the BPL.  Speaking to Mmegi Sport yesterday, acting BPL chief executive officer, Thabo Ntshinogang said they are confident they would have wrapped up negotiations with both parties at the end of this month.
