A plea to Notwane officials

No Image

Notwane used to be a household name in Botswana football, winning everything on offer. They even reached the quarterfinals of the then African Cup Winners Cup in 1996. But since then, Toronto's fortunes have been dwindling and this season, things seem to be worse. Staff Writer TSHEPO MOLWANE looks at the problems at the club.

During the days of Brown Gasemotho, Joy Kenosi, Malombo Thari, Terrence Mophuting, Thazo Tiwayi and the late Shono Ngaka, Notwane used to be a difficult side to beat. Their supporters clad in gold and black, used to attend games in large numbers, knowing that they would go home happy after watching their side display entertaining football.

At the time, Toronto used to have talented youngsters like Noah 'Stooge' Kareng, Barcos Mosimanegape, Maano Mbaakanyi, Desmond Hambira and Innocent Ranku, who used to give his side options when the going got tough. The club had a good technical team headed by Zimbabwean Paul Moyo assisted by the late Banks Panene. To complete a well-rounded outfit, Toronto had a strong and accommodative committee, which ensured that things were done well. In return, the players delivered the goals because they were happy.
