Nonetheless, I am optimistic that the contractors will stick to their promise as they have already done most of the works,\u201d he said<\/p>\n<p>He said contractors seldom dumped work after surpassing the 50 per cent mark, adding that the other positive development was their dedication and hard work on site.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Minister Mzwinila said they would continue to monitor the project, both from the ministry level and through officers, who were directly supervising it.<\/p>\n<p>He applauded them for having hired most of the locals from the villages through which the project passed and encouraged them to do skills transfer.<\/p>\n<p>The two-phased project, which was launched last year May, is valued at over P800 million.<\/p>\n<p>It covers a little over 300 kilometres of pipeline.<\/p>\n<p>Once complete, it is expected to service over 20 villages in the Good Hope District, which have been struggling with portable water.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier on when briefing the minister, the contractors of Pitsane Photlhoko-Sekhutlhane project which is slightly behind schedule, said they were confident that they would hand over the project in November as agreed.<\/p>\n<p>They pointed out that they had mitigation plans in place on how to make up for the time lost by engaging more manpower.<\/p>\n<p>Pula Consultants project manager, Mr Olefile Tshoganetso said the Pitsane Phohloko-Sekhutlhane project was at 70 per cent instead of the expected 78 while the Good Hope-Sedibeng part was at the expected 78 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>Good Hope District Council chairperson, Mr Fanki Motsaathebe said they were happy with the developments as the district had been suffering shortage of water.<\/p>\n<p>He concurred with the minister that so far those tasked with doing the job were well on track, saying they had not received any negative feedback so far.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/botswana\">Botswana<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Botswana.
