Jwaneng Galaxy is looking to pick up some positives in its exit from participation in the Confederation of African Football (CAF) competitions.
The local side participated in both the CAF champions league and the Confederation Cup under difficult conditions induced by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
“We participated in CAF competitions under difficult situations brought by Covid-19. We were unable to execute all preparation plans due to protocols that were in place that restricted movement,” team spokesperson Tankiso Morake says.
Morake says insinuations that the team did not perform well due to internal administrative issues were way off the truth.

Themba Zwane is Sundowns’ man of the moment so far this season after managing seven PSL goals in as many league matches.
After the attacker was rested for Downs’ last league match away at Golden Arrows, he is expected to be back for the Galaxy assignment together with Kermit Erasmus, who has not featured in Masandawana’s last two games.
The Botswana champions could be in for a torrid afternoon if Zwane combines with Erasmus and Peter Shalulile to complete an attacking partnership that has terrorised PSL defences.
In the Arrows game, Sundowns coaches also rested other key players like captain Hlompho Kekana and Rivaldo Coetzee, who could also be given a run on Tuesday.
