We want a program that would touch Batswana\u2019s hearts, involve our customers and also involve our staff,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe wanted a meaningful and resolute sponsorship program and GU has given us the right platform to demonstrate our commitment. The Gaborone United sponsorship is in line with our purpose to be a connector of positive change. We can only effect this change with relationships built with our stakeholders. These relationships are important to us as they help to offer Batswana opportunities and rewarding experiences,\u201d Coetzee added.<\/p>\n<p>GU\u2019s Brand and Marketing manager, Herbert Letsebe attributed notable achievement of GU.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were the first efficiently run club with an office. It is no shock that we find ourselves here today in what I term a historic and glorious moment for Gaborone United and Bank Gaborone. (This is) a perfect coincidence of two organizations that carry the name Gaborone. Furthermore, they identify their brands in red and white. What a coincidence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are not new to a partnership of this nature. We normally lead and others follow. The team has, in the past, received multimillion sponsorship from an insurance company and therefore we know what it takes to sustain this kind of partnership. We know what it takes to give maximum mileage. Bank Gaborone came to the right team \u201csaid Letsebe.<\/p>\n<p>Minister of Entrepreneurship, Karabo Gare who was the guest speaker at the signing ceremony, said it was a gratifying occasion as his grandfather was one of GU\u2019s founders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe private sector is there to compliment the government because the government alone cannot manage. A sponsorship for this magnitude is a great catalyst for economic growth,\u201d Gare said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/botswana\">Botswana<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Botswana.
