Gaborone-“The North West Provincial Government and Afcon Local Organising Committee’s drive to rally support in Botswana for Rustenburg games has been met with enthusiasm by the people and the media of Gaborone” Vusi Kama said. 

In partnership with the Botswana Post Office, the Local Organising Committee team has seen queues stretching during the Thursday and Friday campaign in the capital city.  

Local electronic media houses such as Botswana TV, Duma FM, Yarona Fm and Gabs FM have all been on board in the promotions, with the local newspaper, Weekend Post, also taking a keen interest. 

“Most of the ticket sales are happening at the city’s Rail Park Mall, with two sales stations set up. Plans are afoot to run a similar campaign after the first games in Rustenburg, from January 23” he adds. 

Further ticket sales will be done through the Post Offices in Gaborone. 

The Department’s MEC, Ms Tebogo Modise, says her department seeks to intensify the campaign in Botswana, and make the tournament a truly African extravaganza. 

The contact person for ticket sales in Botswana is Jerry Mooketsane. He is on (0267) 71 660490.
