I've been there six years, I know GU—Piro

Mochudi Centre Chiefs' head coach, Pontsho Moloi, admitted his side needed some bit of luck during a tense 1-0 win over his former team, Gaborone United (GU), on Wednesday evening.

He said having insights on the GU camp came in handy in the midweek FNB Premiership blockbuster. Moloi returned to the GU Stadium for the first time since leaving the club for the Kgatleng giants in January. Moloi led a team that he became a household name against his employers for six years. Chiefs needed to jump a few places, keep in touch with the league pacesetters whilst a GU win would have seen them ascend to the top of the standings, and level on points with Township Rollers but with a better goal difference. A late goal from Monty Enosa separated the two teams in a game that saw Mothusi Johnson sent off in the final minutes.

The match officials had a lot of work with some players receiving yellow cards, whilst Moloi also had to be cautioned. In front of a capacity crowd, it was an onslaught of attacks from both ends, but it was the home side that had the slight upper hand. However, they were let down by their finishing. From the start of the second, Magosi were forced into a substitution with reliable centre-half Kgosietsile Ernest due to an injury. GU loanee, Brian Tafhi, came in as Ernest's replacement to face his parent club. With nine minutes to time, Tatenda Gora slipped and missed a header, allowing Enosa to cut from the byline and face goal. Enosa was further helped by a slip from goalkeeper Thabo Motswagole as he buried his chance to the top corner to send the Magosi faithful in the north stand into wild celebrations.

Are we doing enough?

Women and children continue to suffer at the hands of men who, in their heads, seem to view them as objects they can abuse to satisfy their sick, disgusting tendencies. Hardly a day goes by without reports of a woman, an elderly woman, or a child being raped! Where are we going as Batswana? Rapists have instilled fear into people’s lives; there is no haven for anyone anymore as people live in fear not only walking the streets, but also inside...
