BOROLONG: Recruited by Division One side Magodi Young Movers in 2017, soon after completing his Form 5, Baboloki Motswetla has been doing everything pointing to a bright future between the sticks. And he is only 18-years-old, with a lot of room to develop into one of the country’s finest shot stoppers.

Motswetla saved a number of penalties as he shone like a pebble on a beach, to hand his team the trophy, gold medals and a cash prize of P6,500.
