The Botswana Premier League that is regarded as the face of the local game has been left embarrassed once again following a familiar incident that took place during the Township Rollers/Jwaneng Galaxy match on Saturday.

The game was officially called off few minutes after kickoff after the visiting side, Popa, was left with only six players on the field, following an injury to one of the players. Rollers had travelled to Jwaneng with only seven players for the match, after receiving a fresh FIFA ban ahead of the opening FNB Premiership matches this past weekend.

The troubled side had been slapped with a FIFA ban, barring them from registering new players as a result of unpaid wages to former head coach, Aziz Karkarche.

Exercise extra caution!

Unfortunately, petty thieves tend to be more vicious around this time as they also prepare for the festive season. Culturally, many Batswana go home for the holiday, and petty thieves are amongst those who go home. Burglaries, car break-ins, and attacks on unsuspecting pedestrians seem to be on the rise!That is not all, as scammers continue to take money from pensioners as well as other Batswana who may fall prey to their unscrupulous tactics....
