History

The first President of Botswana, Sir Seretse Khama, formed Miscellaneous in 1962 when he returned from exile. At the time, Khama is reported to have found Motherwell F.C. being the only side supported in the village. He formed Miscellaneous and recruited some players from Motherwell.

Miscellaneous was successful in its early years, competing in the National First Division in the 1970s, the only elite division at the time. It developed several players who later starred in other Gaborone teams including Township Rollers, Gaborone United and BDF XI. The club was later relegated and never regained its former glory.

The royal family has remained involved in leadership of Serowe. Seretse passed on the chairmanship of the club to his son Ian in the 1970s, but remained its Life President.
