Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>Ten Lesotho golfers are expected to tee off at the Kgalagadi Golf Classic in Botswana today. Kgalagadi Golf Classic, which is an annual Botswana golf tournament, is set to end tomorrow.<\/p>\n

It is one of the biggest golf events in Botswana. According to the Maseru Golf Club captain, Thabang Khabo, the players are in Botswana at the invitation of Kgalagadi Classic. Khabo said the players were invited individually, even though they were members of the Maseru Golf Club.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have been invited as individual players, just like it is for the Mohokare Golf Classic and Lekoa Classic,\u201d said Khabo in an interview with Public Eye on Wednesday this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am yet to determine who those players are, but I can confirm that they are a group of 10 golfers, three of whom are female.
\nThe invitation to the Kgalagadi Classic forced the postponement of the Maseru Golf Club monthly tournament, Monthly Mug, which was supposed to take place this Sunday.<\/p>\n

The Monthly Mug takes place every first Sunday of every month. Khabo confirmed its postponement. \u201cThe Monthly Mug will be postponed to August 14. Of course, this is because some of our members will be away for the Kgalagadi Classic.<\/p>\n

\u201d Khabo said the club\u2019s culture is to hold the tournament when all of their players are available.<\/p>\n

This is while sources also told Public Eye that the postponement was forced by the fact that some of the club\u2019s members will be attending a Sekhametsi Investment Consortium annual general meeting which takes place this weekend.<\/p>\n

The golfers in Botswana, according to the sources, are members of the business grouping. \u201cOther players will be attending Sekhametsi\u2019s AGM since they are members,\u201d said one source.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is one of the reasons which has forced the postponement of the Monthly Mug.<\/p>\n

\u201d Khabo could not confirm this claim. Instead, he said: \u201cWell, that\u2019s news to me, but it\u2019s possible.<\/p>\n

\u201d \u201cBut that\u2019s not the primary reason for postponing the Monthly Mug. The tournament has been postponed just because of the Botswana trip. \u201d<\/p>\n

Matjato Moteane, one of the Maseru Golf Club members, is also a shareholder in Sekhametsi. Khabo said he only knew of him as a member of the business consortium within the gold club.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only member of the club that I know as a Sekhametsi member is Moteane. I don\u2019t know about the others.<\/p>\n

\u201d Khabo said the tournament would only be postponed if Sekhametsi was the club\u2019s sponsor and not because some of its golfers are members of the company. The Monthly Mug is a ranking competition for golfers within the Maseru Golf Club.<\/p>\n
