FRANCISTOWN: One of the country’s top referees, Joshua Bondo is considering retirement at the end of the year. Bondo has been linked with the ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP), amid reports that the party wants him to contest next year's elections in Selebi-Phikwe.

But Bondo denied he wants to go into active politics but confirmed plans to retire. In an interview this week, Bondo indicated that he is exploring the possibility of ending his refereeing reign.

“From October 2, 2023, I will be active. I will be able to officiate CAF-sanctioned matches. It is true that I am considering quitting as a referee at the end of the year.
