Lobatse � On Being Milked!

In the very same week that another wildly speculative project, Phikwe Steel closes down, we are told by the Telegraph that the Lobatse Milk Project has now started to unravel, as some of us, myself included, have long assumed would happen.

The Telegraph suggested of the much-touted milk project that, ‘it is likely to go down even before it starts’ (June 29). It reported that the students who were sent to Florida by Milk Africa were returning prematurely as they had not been paid their allowances. The Embassy in Washington had apparently been obliged to intervene. It further reported that, ‘whilst initially Milk Africa, had decided to source cattle from Florida but that did not materialise due to insufficient stock feed in Botswana’. 

The Lobatse Town Clerk, Boikhutso Matenge, however, is in total denial.  She insisted that the project is ongoing, that the board of directors has been selected, that she is happy with the progress achieved and that the Town Council will gain over P100,000 from the leased land. Wow.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
