Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Plans are afoot to have roads in Betesankwe and Seherelela villages tarred, residents have heard.<\/b><\/p>\n

Addressing kgotla meetings in Seherelela and Betesankwe on January 9, Kanye South MP Dr Lemogang Kwape said the roads would be connected to Kanye-Jwaneng road.<\/p>\n

Dr Kwape told villagers that there were some processes to be followed before the commencement of the projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cDevelopments take some time, it is a process hence the need for us to be patient. We have been in talks for some time now about these roads and they would now be tarred,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The MP also pleaded with those awarded government tenders to take them seriously, adding that projects had to be of required standards and completed within time.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll these developments are yours, so it is important to keep an eye on those carrying them out. If there are some irregularities, inform the relevant authorities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Upon completion of different projects, he said Batswana had to ensure that they were well looked after.<\/p>\n

On high crime, especially livestock theft, Dr Kwape said there was need for the community and the police to collaborate in order to effectively combat it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese criminals live amongst us, in our homes, they are our children. Let us interrogate them if we see some suspicious properties or anything that might be proceeds of criminal activities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Dr Kwape further advised the youth against selling their residential plots, explaining that land was wealth and every Motswana was entitled to one plot in the village and one in town, therefore it would be difficult for them to get other plots.<\/p>\n

On other issues, he urged youth below the age of 30 years and had attained 32 points and above during BGCSE to apply for scholarships in India.<\/p>\n

On one, the MP emphasised the need for teachers and parents to work together in order to improve schools results.<\/p>\n

Briefing their member of parliament, residents of the two villages decried the bad state of their roads, noting that they negatively affected their lives.<\/p>\n

They highlighted that livestock theft was one of their main concerns as well as shortage of water, hence their plea to the MP for assistance.<\/p>\n

Residents also expressed concerns about learners\u2019 bad behaviour, which they said led to different social ills such as teenage pregnancy, among others.<\/p>\n

To that, Dr Kwape urged different stakeholders to collaborate with teachers, saying the latter would not manage to solely mould learners to become responsible future leaders.<\/p>\n
