Transform into millionaires Masisi

Addressing a kgotla meeting in Sehitwa Masisi said some rich people just like the recipients of the poverty eradication programme started with nothing but through hard work managed to rise to the top. He said the poverty eradication programme was motivated by the extreme poverty status many Batswana find themselves in saying, “many Batswana leave in hunger.”

He further said: “Government is committed of eliminating extreme poverty among able bodied Botswana in 2016 but the programme has challenges as some recipients are not serious.” He said when things are not going to plan with governments programmes some people rush to blame the programme when it could be the recipients taking the programme who are at fault. Masisi addressed the meeting to hear Lake Ngami communities’ request to government to consider lifting the fishing ban at Lake Ngami. He flew into Sehitwa to address residents of six villages along the Lake about issues pertaining to the fishing ban of 2015.
