Vunani Annual Women In Sports Celebrates Excellence In Women’ s Football Development

A huge congratulations to Diamond Trading Company Botswana (DTCB), for receiving the Champion for Equality Award at the recent Vunani Annual Botswana Women Sports Awards.

The award is in recognition of their unwavering support in the development of the girl child through sports that includes women’s football and swimming.

The well-deserved honor is testament to the positive impact DTCB continues to make in sports, not only in football. Their efforts have not only empowered young girls but have also led to a significant rise in women’s teams and improved competition across the country as it penetrates through all our 17 regional football associations (RFAs).

We also extend our heartfelt congratulations to Ms. Boago Gabontshiwe, the Women’s Representative for Chobe Region, for being awarded Volunteer of the Year at the prestigious Awards ceremony, an honor that came with a P5, 000.00 cash prize courtesy of another football sensation, Botswana’s export, Tumisang Orebonye. Boago’s dedication and passion for women’s football have left an incredible mark, driving growth and opportunities for aspiring female players.

This recognition is a celebration of progress, empowerment, and the unstoppable rise of women in sports.

Well done to the organizers of the Awards, Inside BW Women Sports, and the event headline sponsor, Vunani Fund Managers.
