Donated Gantsi houses in disrepair

Last week, a snap tour by a Mmegi team uncovered widespread neglect and disrepair of the houses built by the University of Botswana and a local bank.  While some beneficiaries are taking care of the houses and yards, others have allowed the buildings to deteriorate.

Known as ‘two and a halves’ the state of the houses are shocking. In one house, the floor of the sitting room is cracked because tenants make fire directly on it during cold weather. None of the windows in the house have panes.
