Galaxy host Sundowns in CAF thriller
The best of Botswana will take on the sultans of South Africa today (Tuesday) when Jwaneng Galaxy host Mamelodi Sundowns in the CAF Champions League.

The move came after just three games into the new campaign with a handful of clubs registering new positive cases.
However, teams playing in international competitions can continue to train subject to the strict adherence to protocols put in place by the government.
