Buoyed by the unwavering performance and commitment of Botswana Chess Federation, Metropolitan Life Botswana last week announced a P60 000 windfall as sponsorship of the BCF’s national championships.

Metropolitan Life Botswana which will be sponsoring the chess championship for the fourth year since its inception, announced that they have increased their sponsorship by P20 000 to make it a whooping P60 000 this year. Metropolitan Life’s Retail Marketing Consultant Tebogo Toteng said that the sponsorship strengthens their partnership with BCF.

“The BCF Executive committee has demonstrated unwavering commitment in the pursuit of their objectives. They have demonstrated that they are a worthy partner with a clear goal path,” he said. He also said that such a commitment deserves attention, and the marriage between BCF and Metropolitan is the end product of their mutual sense of commitment.

Toteng further said that there is a place for chess in both the social and economic aspects of people’s lives.

He also reiterated Metropolitan’s commitment to supporting sports in Botswana.

“Metropolitan’s association with sports is a deliberate step driven by our conviction that it is the role of every corporate citizen to assist the community. Therefore to us supporting sports is a responsibility that we have vowed to shoulder,” he said.
