Why should Lobatse be left to rot?

No reason has been given why these buildings should be abandoned or demolished.  They include among others, a once beautiful house of the then British Divisional Commissioner South, G.A. Germond and the office block of the Commonwealth Development Association, as well as the prison cell that housed ZNB radio before it became Radio Botswana at independence.

These buildings are a wealth of our historical heritage and should be preserved in their original condition to tell the story of the town and the history of the country.  If we demolish them, we will be demolishing our past.  Those which have already been demolished, should be itemised to be included in the inventory of old colonial buildings because they are in the DNA of the town, as it were.
