Gaborone United (GU) will have to dig deep when they travel to Tanzania this weekend for the second encounter of their CAF Champions League preliminary round tie against Young Africans (Yanga).

The two sides played to a 1-1 draw in the first leg at the National Stadium on Saturday, leaving the tie finely balanced ahead of the return fixture in Dar es Salaam. GU looked set to secure a famous home victory after taking the lead in the first half through Obrey Amseb's free kick.

However, that hope faded when Yanga struck deep into stoppage time through Selemani Mwalimo to secure a draw and take a crucial away result back to East Africa.

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....
