- BY SESA KOLAGANO

GABORONE based Sunday soccer club, Leng Kapa Leng has donated 110 masks (buffs) to Revelation Blessed Peace church, St John Apostolic Faith Mission of Botswana and Tobane tribal leaders.

Speaking on behalf of the Sunday Soccer club, team manager, Sesafeleng Kolagano told Tobane residents that they were approached by one of the committee members, Nicodemus Mosweu to assist the two churches after he realised that many of the congregant­s did not have proper masks.

The team agreed to assist as part of their corporate social responsibi­lity.

“Contrary to popular belief, as Sunday soccer clubs we do not only play soccer and consume alcohol. We are a group of responsibl­e men and women who assist each other as well as communitie­s that we come from,” said Kolagano.

He also pointed out that the church

plays a pivotal role in the psycho - social and spiritual upliftment of human beings and that is why Leng Kapa Leng found it fitting to assist them as they continue to provide counsel in the era of covid-19.

Kolagano thanked Leng Kapa Leng, Nico Mosweu, Reliable Holdings (a Micro lending company) owned by the former manager John Kgaje, and WUSA clothing & Sportswear, which made the masks.

In his welcome remarks, the village chief, Kgosi Nametsego Motlhasedi expressed sincere gratitude and thanked the team for rememberin­g them and traveling all the way from Gaborone to give them love in the difficult time of covid-19.

Giving a vote of thanks, the area councilor, Nehemiah Mosweunyan­a thanked Leng Kapa Leng for the donations. He impressed upon the team members to look for companies, which can adopt the two primary schools in the village.

The councilor highlighte­d that Tobane is a beautiful village with beautiful heritage sites with a potential to become a popular tourist destinatio­n.

Mosweunyan­a also thanked the local businesswo­man. Goitse of Tshenolo Supermarke­t for partnering with the team at the eleventh hour to provide refreshmen­ts on the day.
