FRANCISTOWN: After a slow start, one of the country's oldest football outfits, TAFIC Sporting Club has finally secured a clubhouse where its business will be coordinated.

Tati African Federation Independent Club (TAFIC) formed around 1961 as a break away from the then popular TAFA football club, has found an administrative home in Kgaphamadi where it was founded about five decades ago.

Information has it that the founders of TAFIC, which was initially known as Sharp Shooters in its formative years, were based at Kgaphamadi where the club has now secured a home which will hopefully transform the financially struggling club into a force to reckon with.  TAFIC, popularly known as Matjimenyenga to hordes of its supporters, is nicknamed after a stream, which runs behind the low-income locations of Maipaafela and Kgaphamadi. Matjimenyenga is a tributary of the Tati River.
