Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>On Friday, Econet Telecom Lesotho (ETL) opened a surprise package for Federation of Lesotho Rugby (FLR) as it unveiled the sponsorship worth M150 000 for the<\/p>\n

rugby league. This also served as a sign of strong relations and friendship that the two organizations have, and the long journey they have travelled.<\/p>\n

ETL General Manager, Marketing and Customer Experience \u2018Mapusetso Nt\u0161ekhe explained that this move is aimed for investment in the talent and the future of Basotho.<\/p>\n

She also said ETL is convinced that if they hold hands together, they can be able to reach their destinations, build their children and the future generation a platform to portray their potential.<\/p>\n

FLR Secretary General (SG) Lit\u0161itso Mot\u0161eremeli explained that ETL has previously invested in the development of rugby in Lesotho. He added that the rugby sport is currently<\/p>\n

active in Butha-Buthe, Leribe, Berea, Maseru, Mafeteng, Mohale\u2019s Hoek, Quthing, Qacha\u2019s Nek and Thaba-Tseka. ETL Public Relations Officer (PRO) Puleng Masoabi indicated that since they<\/p>\n

sponsored rugby league, ETL has spent over M1 million inclusive of the new sponsorship amounting to M150 000. On Other developments, FRL President Fetang Seliea-liea announced that soon their<\/p>\n

national team will partake in \u2018Currie Cup\u2019. \u201cOur plan in five (5) years is that our team will be walking on the footsteps of countries like South Africa, Zimbabwe<\/p>\n

or even Kenya,\u201d he said. Econet Rugby League results for last weekend stand as follows; Warriors won 26-0 against Academy and Mabote Beavers defeated NUL spears 6-0.<\/p>\n

Following matches played last weekend, Warriors is currently on the 1st place, followed by Liqhomane on 2nd place and Mabote Beavers on 3rd place. Lesotho<\/p>\n

Rugby team was established in October, 2011 but became active in 2012. In the same year when it showed its activeness, ETL was interested in sponsoring the league and even bought first full kit for all the teams including corner flags among others.<\/p>\n
