Monarch kgosi bemoans absentee councilors

FRANCISTOWN: Monarch Customary Court president, Gunny Moses has raised concern over the continuous absence of councillors at kgotla meetings. When addressing a kgotla meeting this week, Moses said that Monarch area councillors have disowned their location by not attending kgotla meetings.

He indicated that the absence of councillors fuels the challenges that the community is currently facing.
