On the contrary, the BDP’s focus remains on delivering its election promises and is not concerned about developments in the ranks of the opposition. “We are not bothered and are not shaken,” Kentse said in an interview. “We have been given the mandate to rule this country for the next four years. That shows that Batswa- na still trust the BDP.” “Our focus is to deliver what we promised Batswa- na in our manifesto and we are proud that we are indeed making progress. Batswana have proved since we gained independence that they trust and believe in the BDP and we state it strongly that we are unshaken by merging of opposition parties.” But observers say that should the opposition overcome internecine squabbling among contracting parties, it could pose a serious threat to the BDP in the next general elections in 2024.

GAZETTE REPORTER

bout 500 jobs will be lost as Debswana Diamond Company announces permanent closure of Orapa AMine Plant 1 as Damtshaa Mine nearby goes under care and maintenance indefinitely. Ongoing market challenges and diminished revenues as a result of the global economic recession induced by COVID-19 have further prompted Debswana to accelerate implementation of its transformation programme. According to Debswana Head of Corporate Affairs, Ra- chel Mothibatsela, at the forefront of the accelerated long-term initiatives is retirement of two assets at the Orapa, Letlhakane and Damtshaa Mines (OLDM) operation: permanent closure of the aged Orapa Mine Plant 1 which is now over 48 years old and placement of Damtshaa Mine, which is a marginal operation, under care and maintenance.

A source with close ties to Letshwiti informed this publication that the BFA president has landed his support for Motsepe with whom he enjoys a cordial relationship with as they regularly converse on Bakgatla matters. The source’s statements effectively ruled Let- shwiti from competing for the position as a result as he is expected to rally behind his ally. Motsepe’s candidacy was announced in the last few days as the South African Football Association fully backed him to participate in CAF’s elective congress which is set for March 12 in Rabat, Morocco next year. “The SAFA National Executive Committee approved a round-robin resolution by an overwhelming major- ity to nominate Dr Patrice Motsepe for the position of President of CAF. His football and business success is well recorded in our continent and in the World,” read part of the statement released on Monday. We are con- vinced that his business acumen, his strict observance of governance, his legal training, his global business network and his commitment and love for African and world football makes him a revolutionary choice for the leadership of African Football,” SAFA stated in a report Letshwiti Set To Back Motsepe compiled by South African publication KickOff. The South African publication also revealed that Bo- tswana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Zimbabwe have already endorsed Motsepe’s candidacy for the CAF presidential role. In CAF Presidential Race

We have been working hard to prepare for competitive action. As the coaching staff it is our duty to make sure that players are fit and CO- VID-19 free and compliant.
