Diacore Gaborone Marathon (DGM) has donated P15, 000 to the Botswana Athletics Association (BAA) to help athletes prepare for local competitions.

The good part is that they engage with us time and again,” Mooketsi said.

He said as BAA, they do their best to groom more athletes with the help they receive from sponsors.
