FRANCISTOWN: Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) council candidate, Victor Ramosesane has said that Mabesekwa is one of the poorest villages due to underdevelopment and negligence by the ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) government.

He said this during a UDC star rally for Tonota-Mabesekwa, which was graced by UDC president Duma Boko and other party leaders recently. The rally, which was attended by scores of people, culminated with 58 new members welcomed into the party ranks. Addressing the villagers, Ramosesane said Mabesekwa remained a poor village with no electricity or tarred roads and insufficient water supply. He said that for starters, a trip to Mabesekwa using both private and public transport was not easy because one had to travel on a gravel road for over 70 kilometres from Tonota to Mabesekwa.

He said that some people living in the village were impoverished and could not afford potable water to their homes because of the hefty amount required to connect.
