Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>The power outages that have bedevilled the Kgatleng East villages will be a thing of the past come July when the ongoing power connection is completed.<\/b><\/p>\n

This was said by the area MP, Mr Mabuse Pule during a kgotla meeting in Ramonaka recently.<\/p>\n

He said the project, that would attract three contractors, would also open up job opportunities for members of the community.<\/p>\n

Mr Pule, who is local government and rural development assistant minister, said the planned connection was a true testament of government\u2019s commitment to delivering on election campaign promises.<\/p>\n

On health issues, he said despite the shortage of medicines currently being experienced in the country, government remained committed to delivering primary health services.<\/p>\n

He said efforts were underway to address the situation and advised residents to continue visiting health facilities.<\/p>\n

Mr Pule encouraged residents to adopt healthy living to minimise the chances of contracting lifestyle-related illnesses.<\/p>\n

The MP apprised residents on some laws passed by the just-ended Parliament session among them the Transfer Duty Act and the amended Electoral Act.<\/p>\n

He explained that the amendment increased registration fees for council candidates from P100 to P200 and from P500 to P1 000 for MPs.<\/p>\n

Residents heard that Mmathubudukwane had was now a service centre for the river villages and currently offered services twice a week.<\/p>\n

About envisaged development projects, residents were told that they included the tarring of Mabalane-Modipane 25km road and paving of the 15km road from the kgotla to Ramotlabaki Primary School.<\/p>\n

Kgosi Kgwefane Letshwiti of Ramonaka commended government for connecting the river villages to the power grid.<\/p>\n

He encouraged Ramonaka residents to fight stock theft saying it was rife in the village.<\/p>\n
