Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Prospective bidders for the Motopi-Makalamabedi road tender are expected to visit the project site yesterday.<\/b><\/p>\n

Tendering process for the project, which entails tarring of the road, will follow there after.<\/p>\n

Vice President, Mr Slumber Tsogwane informed Makalamabedi residents during a kgotla meeting recently that the project had been included in the newly adopted National Development Transition Plan.<\/p>\n

Residents had for a long time decried the bad state of the said road especially during rainy season.<\/p>\n

Mr Tsogwane informed the residents that another project that was budgeted for in the 2023-2024 financial year was the Mokoboxane water treatment plant, which had already started.<\/p>\n

Upon completion, the plant will supply villages such as Xhumo, Mopipi and Toromoja among others.<\/p>\n

On a different matter, the vice president highlighted that government encouraged small stock farming as it was lucrative.<\/p>\n

He said in an effort to empower small stock farmers in the country, relevant departments had been tasked to identify suitable land for small stock ranches to be allocated to Batswana.<\/p>\n

Mr Tsogwane further told Makalamabedi residents that government would continue looking for a foreign market for small stock.<\/p>\n

The current government, he said, wanted to see every Motswana benefiting from value chains.<\/p>\n

He also talked about the new ISPAAD, which he said would be implemented this ploughing season.<\/p>\n

On another issue, the VP decried rampant stock theft in Boteti and encouraged farmers to form syndicates to fight the crime.<\/p>\n

He noted that an anti-stock theft police unit had been established and already 150 officers had been trained and would be deployed in various stations across the country.<\/p>\n
