Jul 18, 2018

A CAF assessment team that came to Botswana recently has granted BTV responsibility to produce as well as broadcast the next Township Rollers home game. Previously CAF said BTV was not capable but following intervention by BFA, CAF team came to assess equipment of BTV and gave them the green light to produce the next home game.

This means that Rollers will not have to look for a production company outside the country, that will obviously come at a big cost to them.
