Early kick-off: Premier League action could return in September PIC: PHATSIMO KAPENG

The 2023-2024 Botswana Premier League (BPL) season could see the earliest start in recent times as league authorities target a September kick-off.

The 2019-2020 was the last campaign to start in August but was disrupted by the outbreak of COVID-19. As a result of the outbreak, the BPL has struggled to recover as the 2020-2021 season was cancelled.

Use social media to build, not destro

It is a warning flare to every Motswana who logs onto social media. As a country, we have reached a point where the line between robust debate and outright destruction has become dangerously blurred. At face value, Mabeo’s response, which seeks an apology and threat of a defamation suit, might seem severe to some. But we cannot ignore the context. The comment in question did not offer a policy critique or question a political decision.It...
