Floods cripple Ramotswa

Some of the affected areas included the Rural Administration Centre offices, which house the South East District (SED) sub council chamber, District Commissioner’s office and council offices. Also affected were some police and teachers’ houses and cemeteries. The Ramotswa border post was forced to close, while pupils at St Conrads Primary School were sent home as their school was flooded.

A Mmegi newscrew found learners and their teachers standing outside the school premises watching the floodwaters, which showed no signs of receding. The Roman Catholic Church, which is inside St Conrads, was equally affected with reports that some sisters were trapped inside.
