This initiative follows a successful dinner dance held at the Gaborone International Conventional Centre (GICC) last Friday.

Vice President Dr Ponatshego Kedikilwe and Speaker of the National Assembly Dr Margaret Nasha graced the event. 'This is good work as the house which is going to be built will benefit the receiver in many ways and so UCCSA deserve commendation,' Kedikilwe said.

The spoksperson for the Broadhurst choir, Barbara Ramolefhe, said they decided to build Keoagile Tshwanelo a house because she is disabled and has a child.

'This outreach project entails building a house which will have two bedrooms with a sitting room, kitchen, bathroom, toilet with running water inside and Tshwanelo was specifically chosen because she also does not have parents so she is an under privileged person who is also disabled,' she said. She explained that they have a number of sponsors on board so that the house, which costs P160,000, can be built and completed by December.

'We want Tshwanelo to have a good Christmas; so this will be our Christmas gift to her,' she said.

The UCCSA has previously recorded a music album for the Zebras, raising close to P100,000. They later handed over the master copy of the CD to the Botswana Football Association (BFA) to continue benefiting from the music.
