Plot secured for Ghanzi Airport

The Ministry of Transport and Communication has identified and reserved a plot for the construction of Ghanzi Airport, 15 kilometres along the New Xade road.

When updating Ntlo Ya Dikgosi on Wednesday, the Assistant Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, also speaking on behalf of the Ministry of Transport and Communication, Botlogile Tshireletso said a new location for the airport development is identified and planned for the necessary Environmental Impact Assessment.

However, it did not go through due to the moratorium on new projects then (during the economic meltdown).
