 At the BNSC Sponsors Day held at Phakalane on Thursday night, he said sponsors have helped sport codes to retain skills and attract foreign scouts and talent to ply their trades in Botswana. 'Now we see our players doing well in countries like Namibia, the DRC and of course South Africa, and all this is through the support we get from the sponsors,' Reikeletseng said.
