Disappointed Batlokwa keeps Zebras option open

Batlokwa had been called-up to the Zebras camp, but the Botswana Football Association (BFA) refused to meet travel costs for the 19-year-old. He had informed the mother body that he would be in Botswana, the country of his birth, for a holiday during the training camp and only wanted a return ticket.  “I was told that it was not possible.

They clearly stated that they would not take care of my expenses,” Batlokwa told Mmegi Sport yesterday. Asked if he was disappointed at the turn of events, Batlokwa said: “Disappointed is an understatement. It was my first call up and the whole thing was unorganised. That just made me question the association’s professionalism.
