Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, Mr Kgotla Autlwetse has donated wheel chairs to two disabled persons in the Central District.<\/b><\/p>\n

Mr Autlwetse said he chose to assist them because their like were often forgotten.<\/p>\n

When handing over a wheel chair and two blankets to Ms Meleko Kangangwane of Gojwane on Monday, Mr Autlwetse said this was his second round of donations, having donated full school uniforms to all primary school learners in Gojwane in 2016.<\/p>\n

Mr Autlwetse highlighted that this act of benevolence was made possible by the World Group of Companies, which had partnered with him.<\/p>\n

He said after winning elections in 2015, \u2018I decided to do something to thank my constituents.<\/p>\n

That is when the World Group of Companies came on board because I did not want to do this with government funds\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is why we are here today,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The 35-year-old Ms Kangangwane expressed delight for the minister\u2019s kind gesture, saying the wheel chair would unburden her family members who used to push her everywhere she wanted to go.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am a staunch church goer so I am glad that I will be able to go to church without bothering anyone.<\/p>\n

I thank Mr Autlwetse for singling me out in the whole of Gojwane village,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Ms Kangangwane said now that she had the new wheelchair, she could think of something to do to make some income.<\/p>\n

Greater Francistown District Health Management Team (DHMT) coordinator, Dr Keorapetse Mmualefhe, thanked the minister for the donation, saying although he was in charge of a ministry, he still made time to check on his former constituents.<\/p>\n

Dr Mmualefe added that Ms Kangangwane\u2019s life would turn around for the better, thanks to the minister and his partners\u2019 kind act, stressing that there was no bigger gift than the one Ms Kangangwane got.<\/p>\n

Still on the same day, Mr Autlwetse handed over yet another wheel chair and two blankets to 10-year-old Thabang Mmese, another disabled person, at Serule Clinic.<\/p>\n

Thabang has never walked nor spoken a day in his life, hence his mother Ms Kenalemang Mmese\u2019s tears of joy over the minister\u2019s kindness.<\/p>\n

Ms Mmese said it was not easy to care for a disabled child, stressing that she was forced to stay home at all times to care for her son.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven if I was to go out and leave him in my mother\u2019s care, the motherhood instincts would kick in and I would be forced to abandon whatever I was doing to come home to Thabang\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

These acts of benevolence will also stretch to Majwanaadipitse, Paje and Serowe.<\/p>\n
