Zebras 4 Life

Moses, Mave and Kuno went to watch the Botswana senior national team, the Zebras, in an international friendly match against the New Zealand senior national team, the 'All Whites,' as they are apparently 'affectionately' called, at the University of Botswana football stadium this afternoon. The National Stadium, which is close by UB and the UB Stadium, is being upgraded at the moment and so the game was held at the UB Stadium. It almost wasn't held there either because that stadium is also being upgraded and it wasn't clear it was going to be ready in time. In the end it all worked out. The game was a 0-0 draw, the second 'loss' for the Kiwis who were beaten last week by the Tanzania national team in Dar es Salaam. They are in the region for this month's Confederation Cup in South Africa. Botswana, of course, is hoping to benefit in various ways from next year's World Cup in Cape Town.
