BNOC incorporates culture in Queen's Baton Relays

The Botswana National Olympics Committee (BNOC) has promised to make the Queen's Baton Relay event for the 2010 Commonwealth Games a historic one by incorporating the country's culture as part of its celebrations.

The baton will be in Botswana for the second time next Monday for four days. On the first night, the baton will be at the Gaborone Sun where a reception will be held to welcome it and its bearers.

The baton will begin its relay in Botswana on Tuesday at Taung and unlike 2005 when it was around, it will leave Gaborone with the first being Ramotswa where the main celebration is expected to commence. For the first time the baton will travel in a donkey cart - from Taung to Ramotswa.
