Inside Africa

We celebrate the nation's emerging athletic talent, from the Olympic 4 × 400 meters relay team's record-breaking performance to Ross Branch's trailblazing achievements in the Dakar Rally and young tennis sensation Malak Macheng's rise. We follow the relay team's historic silver medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics, Branch's role in putting Botswana on the global motorsport map, and Malak's journey as the 2025 Junior Sportswoman of the Year. Through their stories, we highlight Botswana's growing sports culture and its next generation of champions.
