You should teach it to new members,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He indicated that when the country attained its independence, poverty and lack of development especially in the rural areas were high and through implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) the BDP managed to develop rural areas.<\/p>\n<p>He pointed out that Batswana depended on farming and improvement of agriculture sector had become the priority in the development of the country hence President Masisi\u2019s efforts to improve livestock.<\/p>\n<p>He appealed to Batswana to vote for the BDP because it had good programmes that could benefit them.<\/p>\n<p>Letswapo regional chairperson, Mr Bofelo Kgaodi appreciated the developments in the Tswapong area such as water supply, roads construction especially the Dibete-Machaneng road.<\/p>\n<p>He said such developments had made a difference in their area.<\/p>\n<p>He however requested government to expand the Palapye Primary Hospital because it was small and crowded or build a new hospital in Palapye.<\/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.
