F/town Sports Complex a white elephant - Muzila

The stadium has held high profile matches for the Zebras and several premier league matches. It has also held two finals of the Mascom Top 8 competition. But, other affiliates of the Botswana National Sports Commission (BNSC) such as the Botswana Athletics Association have seldom held competitions at the pricey Complex.

In fact, in recent months the stadium has appeared under-utilised something, which Muzila believes should be a source of worry to city authorities.  With no premier league team from Francistown this season, there is fear that the situation may worsen as First Division teams prefer to use the cheap, but less fanciful old Francistown stadium and other dusty grounds around the city.  Even some recreational activities are held at the old Francistown stadium because of its affordability.  The mayor emphasised that “everything possible” has to be done as soon as possible to ensure that the sports complex functions optimally.
