SEIZING THE MOMENT: Sua Flamingoes PIC: KENNEDY RAMOKONE

This weekend presents a rare and tantalising opportunity in the FNB Premiership as Sua Flamingoes could briefly soar to the summit while the league’s heavyweights take an enforced pause.

With Mochudi Centre Chiefs, Jwaneng Galaxy and Township Rollers all off duty, the Sowa Town-based side has a golden window to stake a claim at the top of the table.

As more people shop, bank and pay online, criminals will follow.We Batswana do not need a report to tell us that danger is real. Many of us have heard of or fallen victim to KYC scams. A caller impersonates your bank or mobile money provider. They say they need to “verify” your account. They ask...
