Lekorwe, Nkele strike historic bronze for Botswana

The home pair etched their names into the country's table tennis history books after reaching the semi-finals of the international tournament, which is being hosted in Botswana for the first time at the Botswana National Youth Centre (BNYC).

Their impressive run was halted by the combination of Namibia's Kamrouz Ghayouri and Nigeria's Chinenye Okafor, who claimed a hard-fought 3-1 victory to advance to the final. Despite the defeat, Lekorwe and Nkele walked away with Junior Diteemane's first medal of the tournament, providing a welcome boost to the national team's campaign.
