Former Botswana Premier League (BPL) board chairperson, Rapula Okaile was on Saturday elected the new boss at Peleng giants, Extension Gunners. Okaile went into Saturday’s elective annual general meeting (AGM) unopposed for the position of chairperson.

The former Gaborone United (GU) chairperson will now lead Gunners for the next four years, taking over from George Kerekang who has been at the helm since 2019. His arrival has brought hope to some Gunners supporters who have watched their club over the years struggling both on and off the field. Okaile will be assisted by Ketlhalefile Motshegwa who garnered 328 votes for the vice chairperson's position. Motshegwa beat former Gunners player, Brenda Ncenga who received 119 votes. Edwin Mabapa has managed to retain his position as the club’s secretary general.

Ivy Sesame received 261 votes to become the club’s new treasurer. She was contesting for the position against Odirile Phoga who received 213 votes. Phoga was the club’s treasurer going into Saturday elective meeting.
