The future of a P100million project to develop the Gaborone Golf Club (GGC) remains uncertain as two sports bodies continue to wrangle.

GGC does not want the Botswana Golf Union (BGU) to proceed with the project, and even roped in former president, Ian Khama, to intervene. Khama, who is the club’s patron, had argued that no convincing reasons were advanced for the developments, which include an improved golf course, an academy and residential apartments.

But the BGU has said it is pressing ahead with the project, after arguing that Khama had been misled. GGC has been tenants at the club for years, but the lease was terminated in January to pave way for the development.
