BCP Slams Closure Of Schools In Okavango

Addressing a press conference at party offices in Sanyedi ward here, party officials blamed the closure on a litany of chaos engulfing the Okavango area. They said they want Government to, as a matter of urgency, open an investigation into the education chaos ravaging the region.

Former Botswana Police deputy commissioner, Kenny Kapinga explained that the closure comes at a time of severe water shortage that has hit villages across the Okavango caused by incessant power shortages, which also triggered mobile network cuts. “For weeks villages across Okavango have gone without water. This has severely affected residential and Government institutions,” he said.
