Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Botswana Communication Regulatory Authority (BOCRA) has donated two blocks of classrooms worth about P3 million to Molete.<\/b><\/p>\n

Speaking at the ground breaking ceremony on Friday, BOCRA chief executive officer, Mr Martin Mokgware said the aim was to make the envisaged school an ICT hub for primary school children.<\/p>\n

He said BOCRA decided to build a school for lower primary school children because they noticed that the nearest school was far especially for learners who were starting school.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne class will be a state-of-the-art innovation which will be equipped with high technology gadgets\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

He went on to say that BOCRA will also equip the classrooms with furniture.<\/p>\n

Good Hope\/Mabule Member of Parliament Mr Eric Molale pleaded with the contractor to complete the job on time and within budget, pointing out that in many instances, local contractors did not finish their job on time, saying such delays normally resulted in cost escalation.<\/p>\n

He urged the contractor to first ensure that she completed the job before buying luxurious stuff like expensive vehicles.<\/p>\n

The MP said government was always at loggerheads with contractors who wanted to come back for more funds, saying the habit also delayed developments across the country.<\/p>\n

He pleaded with village authorities to ensure that the project progressed smoothly, saying they should consider themselves lucky for having received such a donation from BOCRA.<\/p>\n

Finance minister Ms Peggy Serame said the project would greatly help the pupils as they had been walking long distances to school. She said the school would also change the landscape of the village with its high technology, thus pleaded with the contractor not to shy away from asking for help when encountering challenges.<\/p>\n

Good Hope\/Mmathethe District Council will on the other hand construct ablution blocks, guard room and perimeter fence.<\/p>\n

The contract has been awarded to Embroided Avenue, a local company owned by a woman.<\/p>\n
