Eyesore warehouse angers leafy suburb residents

The residents are complaining that their Chinese neighbours have built a warehouse, against the City Council regulations, but officials at the local authority are unable to take action.

The Extension Five area is home to the State House, the retired president Sir Ketumile Masire’s office and is one of Gaborone’s wealthiest neighbourhoods. According to the ward Village Development Committee chairperson, Potlako Molefhe, the construction of the warehouse on Tawana Close was done in a space of three weeks.
