As preparations intensify for the upcoming Debswana World Athletics Relays Gaborone 26, Team Botswana has commenced a two-week training camp in Letlhakane, fully sponsored by Lucara Botswana to the tune of P1 million. 

The sponsorship package comprises P700,000 in direct financial support, with the remaining funds allocated to accommodation, catering, transportation, and other logistical requirements. 

During a courtesy engagement with Boteti District leadership, Lucara Botswana General Manager, Johane Mchive, confirmed that the team would have access to the Lucara stadium facilities at no cost.

He further encouraged the athletes to serve as positive role models within the community. 

Team Captain Boitumelo Masilo expressed appreciation for Lucara’s investment, emphasising that structured preparation was critical to performance outcomes.

Kgosi Dira Galeragwe of Letlhakane similarly commended the collaboration. ENDS
