Thickets on both sides of most roads are causing problems for motorists in Gaborone. To say they obstruct the view for the driver is an understatement.

It is just a recipe for disaster. What about the no less vulnerable pedestrian who can never be sure about what is lurking in the thickets? We appeal to those responsible to address this issue as soon as possible.  Surely this is the time to mobilise Ipelegeng workers to clear the bushes. While we understand that there are high costs involved in such an endevour, it would be worthwhile before lives are lost.
