Fighting for survival: Gunners play Fighters in a six-pointer PIC: PHATSIMO KAPENG

It is going to be a very anxious weekend for Extension Gunners as the Lobatse side stare relegation right in the eye. Gunners might drop to the second tier if the weekend's results do not go their way.

On Saturday, the Peleng Boys take on fellow strugglers, Mogoditshane Fighters at the Molepolole Sports Complex in a Botswana Premier League tie. It is going to be an interesting battle involving the 16th and 15th-placed sides and neither would want to drop points on Saturday.

Gunners are 11 points away from safety and will pin their hopes on a yet struggling side, Holy Ghost who are in action on Sunday. If Holy Ghost get maximum points on the day and Gunners lose, the Peleng side will drop to the second tier for the first time in history.

Now he must act decisively to ensure it never happens again and that any money lost to wrongdoing is recovered.The figures are staggering. Whilst ordinary Batswana...
