Two weeks of horror on the A1

More than two weeks ago, the effects of Cyclone Dineo were felt through the South East district leaving a trail of devastating effects on communities. Ramotswa, the district capital, was shut off after its main access road was flooded over, while between Otse and Lobatse, the bridge over Nnywane River broke down.

The damage forced motorists and commuters to use the Mogobane-Ranaka route, a heavily potholed diversion where the burst in vehicle density resulted in several fatal accidents.
