The Football Hero: Terrence Moputhing

 He was 17 days older than me. We both grew up in the Gaborone main mall area where his parents owned a house in an up market plot that currently houses the head office of BEDIA. I was later to spend the better part of my life with him as a fellow football player, as his manager at Notwane in the 1990s, and a long term friend where upon we attempted setting up a business together.

When both of us were at primary, Terry was at Thornhill whilst I was at Lesedi. He later joined me there where we played for the school's football team. We stayed together as childhood neighbours and friends until we completed our primary education. We then rejoined after completing secondary education to try our luck in the elite football league, meeting at Mchacho (Black Peril). He then left for GU, but we kept the friendship bond, later meeting again in football when I was his manager at Notwane. Despite our age and friendship, he respected me as his manager, and we made sure that we separated the friendship and football administration roles.
