Thebe's borehole PIC: KENNEDY RAMOKONE

Hardly two weeks since he commissioned a P100, 000 community borehole for use by Mookane farming community, area councillor Thebe Setlalekgosi finds himself this week fending off accusations to the effect that he has sworn to demolish the same borehole he donated should he lose in the tomorrow’s Bulela Ditswe primaries.

Setlalekgosi, who has been in Gaborone this week to exhibit his Charolais stud breed at the annual Gaborone Agricultural Show, confirmed to Mmegi that the rumours appear to be catching fire.

“ I received a phone call from the village chief who was part of the dignitaries that witnessed the handover of the borehole; he was concerned asking me if it is true that I have written on Facebook that should I lose, I will be demolishing the borehole”. “This is just  cheap politicking  from  my  Bulela Ditswe opponents. I can never  do  that. I will never dream of sabotaging my own community simply because of election outcome.”

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
