The team starts its Mauritius camp on Friday and will be there until March 25. Veteran pugilist Bathusi Mogajane has put the Namibia disappointment at the back of his head and determinedly said they will continue preparing hard for the Morocco Olympic qualifiers.
Mogajane, who will fight in the 49 kilograms category, and his national team mates kg Oteng Oteng (52kg), Mmoloki Nogeng (60kg) and Gomotsang Gaasite (64kg) were scheduled to battle it out against Namibian boxers in an international friendly this past weekend before the neighbours abruptly cancelled the tournament. Two youthful boxers, Mooketsi Lekgetho and Oratile Kgalaeng, had also been drafted into the team for development purposes and were meant to travel to Windhoek to gain exposure. But Mogajane has said that morale is still high in camp and they now want to intensify their preparations. The final Olympic qualifying tournament kicks off on April 25 and the local boxers have been in camp preparing for the competition at the Athletes' Village in Gaborone West since January.
