Dire Thirst Imminent As Parly Rejects Water Project

The Monitor can reveal that some time in December last year the Directorate of Intelligence and Security (DIS) director general, Peter Magosi shared a disturbing water security report with Cabinet. 

The report detailed how in two or three years’ time the greater Gaborone area, which is the economic hub of the country, could be revisited by a prolonged hydrological drought that could hit the country for more years to come. After sharing the report with the then permanent secretary in the Ministry of Land Management, Water and Sanitation Services, the DIS was informed that there was a water tender awarded to Khato Civils by Water Utilities Corporation, which seemed most suitable to mitigate the looming crisis.
