During a Botswana Football Association (BFA) press conference this week, the association's general manager, Monnakgotla Mojaki said Tholakele was having trials at South African side, Mamelodi Sundowns, while Gaborone United are running the rule over Mochawe. “I did communicate with Sundowns to ask them about the possibility of having Tholakele and they confirmed that she is training with them. They also said they have engaged the Malabo team with a view of discussing the settlement, kind of buying her out of the contract,” Mojaki said.
