The country’s largest dam, Dikgathong, with a capacity of 400 million cubic litres, is yet to pump into the greater Gaborone since completion three years ago.

In fact the Greater Gaborone will have to wait for a further five years before they could receive the first drops from the country’  largest dam.

According to a document Kitso Mokaila the Minister responsible for water resources passed to MPs last week Dikgatlhong pipeline for transmission of water along the eastern corridor is currently undergoing commissioning and trial operations. The 300km pipeline from Dikgatlhong Dam terminates at Palapye as part of the Phase 2 (NSC-2) of the North South Carrier Scheme.  However a pipeline link from Palapye to Gaborone is currently at tender stage for Engineering Professional Services. The construction for this section will not start until next year, and is expected to be completed in March 2020.
