Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Temo Letlotlo programme is an exciting opportunity for Batswana to generate quick income, MP for Tati East, Mr Douglas Letsholathebe said when addressing a kgotla meeting in Ditladi, January 8.<\/b><\/p>\n

He told residents that if the programme, which replaced ISPAAD, was fully utelised, Batswana would improve their living standard within a short time.<\/p>\n

He said such was so because government had realised that many Batswana, especially young people, now had a positive mindset about the agricultural sector.<\/p>\n

Dr Letsholathebe said the programme had many good packages and was designed to have a value chain.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is encouraging to see a younger generation recognising the potential of farming as a source of income and wealth,\u201d said Dr Letsholathebe, who is also the Minister of Basic Education and Skills Development.<\/p>\n

He said Temo Letlotlo programme offered something for everyone, regardless of their socio-economic status.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether you are rich or poor, you can benefit from this programme and improve your life.<\/p>\n

With the right resources and support, anyone can succeed in farming, and we are here to help you every step of the way,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He therefore appealed to Batswana to harness the full potential of the agricultural sector so to become wealthy and prosperous.<\/p>\n

\u201cFocusing on commercialising agriculture, we can create a thriving economy and a better future for generations to come,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Dr Letsholathebe also announced during the meeting that another programme for the livestock sector would soon be unveiled.<\/p>\n

The programme, he said, would offer a wide range of benefits for livestock farmers, and encouraged them to take advantage of the opportunities it presented.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the right support and resources, we can create a thriving livestock industry that benefits the entire country,\u201d he said. He assured residents that the new livestock programme would have the same impact as Temo Letlotlo though there would be some unique challenges and opportunities peculiar to the livestock sector.<\/p>\n

Dr Letsholathebe also reassured the residents that Tonota-Ditladi and Patayamatebele gravel road would be upgraded to a bitumen standard as it had been planned for.<\/p>\n

He said the upgrade would improve transportation, facilitate commerce and benefit the local economy; a welcome investment in the community\u2019s quality of life.<\/p>\n

In his welcome remarks, Kgosi Lechedzani Kemmonye of Ditladi complained that Tonota\/Ditladi\/Patayamatebele gravel road was in a bad state of transporting goods and services to Francistown markets.<\/p>\n

\u201cTonota-Ditladi-Patayamatebele gravel road is a vital link between the farming communities and Francistown markets. It is used to transport vegetables and other produce, which are a source of income for many people in the area,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said the road was also used to access healthcare facilities, schools, and other essential services.<\/p>\n

Kgosi Kemmonye requested for the upgrading of the local health post to a fully-fledged clinic with adequate medical personnel.<\/p>\n

He implored government to refurbish the dilapidated kgotla.<\/p>\n

For their part, the residents complained about lack of allocation of residential plots, illegal mining of sand in Shashe River, slow reticulation of potable water in the village and the poor Standard Seven results at the local primary school.<\/p>\n

They requested for an agricultural demonstrator, saying Temo Letlotlo would not benefit them without such an officer in their village. E<\/p>\n
