Botswana competed in the 2003 All-Africa Games held at the National Stadium in the city of Abuja, Nigeria. The team came eleventh overall with eleven medals, nearly half of them in karate.
Botswana entered twelve events at the games.[1] Although she did not win a medal, Amantle Montsho ran her first race during the games. The award ceremony for the high jump was memorable for featuring an impromptu solo rendition of the national anthem by the winner, Kabelo Mmono.[2] This was swiftly followed by a victory for the men's 4 x 400 metres relay team, which won with a time of 3:02.24, a national record.[3]
The country won a tally of eleven medals, consisting of four gold, one silver and six bronze.[4] The country ranked eleventh in the medal table.[5]
