Gaborone United (GU) intends to honour this weekend's fixture despite the Botswana Premier League (BPL) games being cancelled.

The BPL was set to resume this weekend after the festive break but due to a tussle for the Botswana Football League (BFL) leadership, the games have been cancelled. The fight involves the 13 BFL members led by Masitaoka FC's Godfrey Ratlhaga and GU president, Nicholas Zackem with the latter being pushed out of the BFL chairmanship.

The rise in defilement and missing persons cases, particularly over the recent festive period, points not merely to a failure of policing, but to a profound and widespread societal crisis. Whilst the Police chief’s plea is rightly directed at parents, the root of this emergency runs deeper, demanding a collective response from every corner of our community. Marathe’s observations paint a picture of neglect with children left alone for...
