Bank Gaborone sponsors cycling race for P173,000

The championships will be held at the Airport Junction on November 5. The bank’s involvement in cycling started last year, when the commercial bank funded the HE/MD Cycling Challenge. Managing director of Bank Gaborone, Sybrand Coetzee said they believe in the growth of sport in Botswana. He said there is also an increase in interest in cycling.

“We want to enrich the lives of Batswana by associating with sport. The event will speak to the government agenda of seeing Batswana participating in international events as it is the case with the national championships, whereby the winner will compete at the 2018 Commonwealth Games,” Coetzee said during the sponsorship launch last week.
