Athletics stars geared up for inaugural Gaborone Meet

The Meet, organised by Sports View Runners Club, will see runners from host country, Botswana, South Africa, Namibia, Mozambique, Lesotho, Swaziland, Mauritius, Zambia and Zimbabwe battle it out.

The chairperson of the Local Organising Committee (LOC), Glody Dube told a press briefing on Wednesday that in the beginning the idea of GIM seemed impossible due to lack of sponsorship. He said despite that, the LOC approached various companies and individuals who responded positively.
