The inaugural National Easter Softball Tournament (NEST) that was held over Easter holidays at the National Diamond in Gaborone fully utilised technology, from cashless entry points to the use of solar power provided by I-Carbon Botswana.

The event organiser, Petrus Sebina, explained that the tournament went according to plan, with an average of 1,300 spectators over each of the four days.

He said the plan was to bring back softball and ignite the energy. "I do not want the momentum to die. Right now, the softball league does not have a sponsor, and the Top Eight does not have a sponsor. "I am planning something that every month, something is held, which will depend on the Botswana Softball Association (BSA),” Sebina added.
