Malaria Ravages Tswapong, Palapye Regions

Responding to The Monitor questionnaire, Palapye Primary School Hospital’s public relations officer Mpho Modibedi said the affected villages are Lerala, Maunatlala, Ratholo, Moeng, Topisi, Mokokwana/Mosweu, Dikabea lands and Palapye. Maunatlala is home to countless streams that run through the village emptying into the Lotsane River. 

About three weeks ago, the Maunatlala clinic alone registered five cases of malaria although officials were not at liberty to confirm the statistics, referring The Monitor to their Palapye superiors.
