They help people to share ideas and encourage them to take part in different programmes to uplift their lives,\u201d said Dr Lenao.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Kgosi Samuel Ramotlabaki hailed the initiative saying it was focused on bringing developments to the community. As such, he urged the members to remain committed and work together to fulfill their dream.<\/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.
