The Minister of Sports and Arts, Jacob Kelebeng, has assured that the FNB Botswana Golden Grand Prix will take place as scheduled this Saturday at the National Stadium in Gaborone.

This follows widespread reports suggesting the event might be relocated to the Obed Itani Chilume Stadium in Francistown due to concerns over the readiness of the stadium turf.

Minister Kelebeng said preparations are well underway, with all relevant stakeholders working diligently to ensure the event meets international standards. The stadium is expected to be ready by Friday.

The Golden Grand Prix, one of Africa’s premier athletics events, is set to draw top athletes from around the world, including Olympic and World Champions, alongside Botswana’s finest talent.
