Ditlhokwe is part of the Botswana squad that will face Tunisia in their final Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier tonight (Friday).

The encounter is nonetheless a dead rubber as Botswana have failed to qualify and will not qualify even if they beat Tunisia.

Ditlhokwe is expected to be back at Naturena by weekend as this is the only encounter that Botswana will be playing in this FIFA break.
