Friday, December 05, 2025 | 160 Views |

The senior men's and women's netball teams endured a nearly 1,900 km trip from Gaborone to Lilongwe to compete in the Africa Netball Cup. Due to limited funds, the group was forced to drive late Thursday rather than fly to Malawi. However, team manager, Agnes Baitshepi Kethamile assured Batswana that the long drive will not impact the team.

"We have everything under control, I am not worried since we are travelling with the medical team and we will be able to rest before the competition," Kethamile said.
