FootyWILD set to take Africa by storm?

Botswana makes sense when you consider that the capital city (Gaborone) is right on the South African border, and specifically the border to North West Province where most of the footy's been played to date. Jo'burg is about 270km, Mafikeng where the first SAf clubs were is about 100km.

Also, as far as I can gather from wikipedia, there's strong cultural links across the border, most inhabitants of North West Province speak Setswana as a first language, as does almost all the population of Botswana.

Interesting to see the government has approached the AFL too.

Might see Botswana enter the South African provincial championships, at least initially?

Looking forward to hearing more about the Azumah Nelson foundation and their plans for Ghana... Working with the Western Bulldogs I believe?
