Esther Mpotsang Heads Back To Continue Studies

BDF’s very own Esther Mpotsang, who has been awarded an ICCR scholarship for the second time has left to continue her studies. Mpotsang was yesterday accompanied by the BDF team members Kabo Mosarwe, Thobo Matlhatsi, her family and friends as she headed to New Delhi to pursue a Master of Business Administration (MBA) in Analytics at Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University for two years , a remarkable continuation of her academic journey through table tennis.

A total of 54 ICCR beneficiaries are expected to begin departing for India soon. BTTA currently has nine athletes studying in India, with four having already graduated, a clear reflection of the fruitful partnership between BTTA and the Indian High Commission.
This milestone not only highlights BTTA's commitment to athlete development on and off the field, but also cements the strong bilateral relationship between Botswana and India in the areas of sports, education, and culture
