Breakdown Debswana: P20, 000 for coaches, Dose and Chilume. Each coach will receive P10,000. Athletes who did not win a medal will share P70,000, which translates to P10,000 each. Men's relay team members receive P150,000 for reaching the final with each athlete banking P15,000. Tebogo will get P60,000 for his two medals and P10,000 participation fee.

Choppies: P250,000 for Letsile Tebogo.

BPC: 10,000 kilo watts electricity supply for Letsile Tebogo.
