However, it has come out that the likes of Uniao Flamengo Santos, BMC, Extension Gunners and Notwane have also made several new signings. Santos have made 15 signings as they attempt to regain the status they found themselves in during the times of Mogakolodi Ngele and his elder brother, Godfrey Ngele. They have decided to go for young and unknown players, as has always been the case. The only notable name is that of former GU striker, Kenny Ledikwe who is expected to bring the much-needed experience to the youthful side. Ledikwe has been in the books of Nico United where he hardly featured last season when they finished second in the league.

Santos have lost two players, Gofaone Tiro and Onkabetse Seforo to Rollers and Nico United respectively.BMC have also moved swiftly to try and replace three players, Leutlwetse Tshireletso, Kenanao Kgetholetsile and Motsholetsi Sikele who joined Rollers. They have signed strikers, Sageby Sandaka and Boitshoko Zikhale from GU and Extension Gunners respectively. Sandaka returns for the second time after playing for BMC two seasons ago.BMC have also signed left back, Kutlo Sejeso and midfielder, Kenamile Mani from Chiefs. The two players are former Notwane players who failed to break into the starting team at the star-studded Kgatleng side. National Under-20 attacking midfielder, Kago Segokgo has returned from Tlokweng United where he was on a season-long loan.

Extension Gunners have managed to keep both Mponang Mponang and Monageng Thaele. Mponang has been on loan from Rollers and will remain on loan for another season despite the fact that Rollers were reportedly considering bringing him back. He together with Thaele were impressive against Rollers in the Barclays Kabelano Charity Cup. Thaele was linked with BMC but opted to stay. Gunners have also signed Bogosi Nfila and Atang Male from Miscellaneous and BMC respectively.

New comers, FC Satmos, who already have Mosimanegape Ramohibidu and Mpoeleng Mpoeleng on their books have registered Kagiso Bodigelo from Rollers as well as Patrick Kaunda from Prisons XI. Besides the new players that were paraded before the media recently, BDF XI have managed to retain former Zebras defender, Ndiyapo Letsholathebe. Letsholathebe has been on loan from the now defunct Police XI and was expected to join another Botswana Police Service side, Wonder Sporting. BDF XI have however managed to keep him for another season. The window closed last Friday.
