The team settled for the second position after collecting 183 points when the championship concluded over the weekend in Gaborone. This year’s title was won by Zimbabwe with 203 points, with South Africa finishing third with 170 points. Botswana Darts Association (BDA) secretary general, Kagiso Kitso, told Sport Monitor that hosting of Regional 5 Championship is on rotational basis. He explained that after being granted the right to host, they were permitted to proceed with the event by Botswana National Sport Commission (BNSC). Kitso revealed it was the 32nd edition of the competition, despite managing to conclude the championship, it was not easy due to financial constraints. “We managed to push because of the sponsorships and partnerships that we had. There were six countries that competed in the event and only Malawi and Lesotho did not show up,” he said.

“We had a Local Organising Committee (LOC) that was steering the event including guidance from BNSC. We had a budget which we struggled to reach, because in some instances we some shortages.”
