Vincent Excellent Tours director, Vincent Mongati emphasised the need to transport sports reporters in order to broaden coverage of sports events. Mongati said the partnership is an effort to take sports to the people since the game is growing in Botswana.

“We found it important to assist our sports writers with transport in and outside Botswana since they highlighted that transport is a barrier in their field. They are going to use P50,000 per season, through their association. If they want a bus, they have to give us a quotation for the trip, so that we release the transport,” Mongati said. He said if the relationship goes well in future they might extend the partnership, through allocating the reporters a mini-bus.

SWABO president, Leatile Mmutle said they are very humbled by the sponsorship, since it will assist the association in its mandate, which is to take sport to the people. He said transport has been one of the barriers, limiting reporters to travel to far away places for coverage.

“We believe the sponsorship will contribute to sport development and we are happy that the sponsorship does not only cover places in Botswana but across borders too,” Mmutle said. He said they will continue to strive to contribute to sport development in Botswana through the association’s objectives.
