Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Mmathethe\/Molapowabojang MP, Dr Edwin Dikoloti has promised Ga Segwagwa residents that he will continue to lobby for the tarring of the road linking their village with the Kanye-Mmathethe highway.<\/b><\/p>\n

Dr Dikoloti made the promise during a court meeting held at Ga Segwagwa on January 10, after residents complained about the condition of the 12-kilometre gravel road.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is my desire to see the road tarred,\u201d said Dr Dicoloti.<\/p>\n

The deputy chairperson of the Ga Segwagwa Village Development Committee (VDC), Ms Oarabile Tebogo, said the road was in poor condition and requested that culverts be constructed at sections where water crossed the road. She emphasized that the road should be kept in good condition because they used it to access amenities in Kanye and Mmathethe.<\/p>\n

Ms Tebogo also requested for the construction of a maternity ward at the village clinic. She, however, expressed gratitude for the construction of a classroom block and toilets at Ga Segwagwa Primary School. Nevertheless, Ms Tebogo said the shortage of classrooms still persisted at the school with some classes conducted under trees.<\/p>\n

She also asked for maintenance of toilets. \u201cThe toilets have flushing system problems and they should be maintained. Pupils cannot use them,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Ms Tebogo further lamented the acute shortage of teachers\u2019 accommodation at the school, and therefore requested that more houses be constructed for teachers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have six teachers without accommodation who are forced to commute to work from Kanye,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She thanked the government for construction of two VDC houses through the Constituency Community Program (CCP), which had provided additional rental accommodation for civil servants in the village.<\/p>\n

She however asked for the houses to be installed with amenities such as water and electricity.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, some residents further complained about the slow allocation of residential plots in Ga Segwagwa, as well as the shortage of drugs and medicine at the clinic.<\/p>\n
