Malaria Outbreak In Matsiloje

Senior nurse at Matsiloje clinic, Lethabile Mabonga told a Kgotla meeting that was addressed by Minister Tshekedi Khama on Thursday to discuss the problem of elephants that are causing major destruction in the northeast district that so far two people in Matsiloje have tested positive for the mosquito-borne disease.

Mabonga said they suspect that the heavy rains that were brought by the tropical storm Dineo in the beginning of this year may have caused the disease.
