Following uncertainty over this weekend's Mascom Top 8 games, the Local Organising Committee (LOC) has since postponed the fixture between defending champions, Township Rollers and Black Forest to November 30, 2018. Other fixtures, however, will go on as originally scheduled.

The uncertainty and the postponement of one of the games arose after the Zebras got stranded in Mauritania after flights were cancelled due to unfavourable weather conditions in France. 

The eight teams participating in this year's edition of the tournament had a total of 11 players in the Zebras setup.  Speaking at the a press briefing this morning, Botswana Premier League (BPL) chief executive officer (CEO), Thabo Ntshinogang said as per FIFA regulations LOC had to postpone the Rollers/Forest clash as the defending champions have four players with the Zebras.  "As per the statement we released yesterday, all the games will go on as originally planned except for the Rollers and Black Forest game.  We have found a suitable slot for the game and it will be played on November 30."

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
