The meeting discussed a wide range of issues including the introduction of the membership funeral scheme through its partnership with Bank Gaborone. The gathering only attracted a few supporters including some branch leaders although it was open to every supporter.

Speaking at the gathering, the club’s secretary-general, Pelonomi Bantsi, was disappointed and urged the general membership to work together to take the club forward. “Numbers don't lie.
