Is It Because Of The Queues?

Also in the news were the two hospitals, Princess Marina and Lobatse, the former because it was to be given a partial upgrading and the latter because the Ministry has so abandoned it that it barely exists as a hospital at all.

I have long had feelings of affection for Lobatse. It is a place of much charm and character. But it does so regularly gets the rough end of the stick. And with its once proud hospital now reduced to little more than a minor clinic, there must be wonder what it is about the place that is so offensive to the government. The story, this time around, is that no money is available even to keep it running as an enlarged clinic because of the huge amount committed for the Leather project.
