Why are we pursuing the Afcon bid?

Most people believed that Botswana will too, surrender due to the astronomical budget associated with hosting the football tournament.

However, the Minister of Youth, Gender, Sports and Culture, Tumiso Rakgare has maintained that the country is steadfastly committed to hosting Afcon despite the enormous budget the country will incur to host. But the big question is ; the authorities hellbent on going ahead with the bid that looks insurmountable? Though it looks like a lost course already, but surprisingly, the State considers it a bid worth pursuing.
