So. This happened today.
Promoted to A license referee for 3x3 Basketball. Apparently it’s the first time an African referee gets this license. Also, we only 14 in the world with it.
I pray I keep serving the game to the best of my ability! I absolutely love being a referee.

I am very impressed. Even the wine list is good - because Maun and Kasane lodges are Arabela people🤞🏾. Makgoa a sharp ha gotwe from Western Cape. And they offer bubbly by glass, a plus for me. It P135 but the aesthetics suit the price. And wine bottle prices are very OK.

If you seat down and comb down the fees of exta curricular activities for 2 kids per term, it can be anything close to bo 10K &more for some families. The actual fees,transport,lunch,snacks,trips/galas,lost swim wear/boots (once in a while) etc. So much needed. And TIME.
