FRANCISTOWN: To its south lie the city's light industrial area and most prominently the Francistown City Council buildings 'decorated' by the FCC's fleet of vehicles. To its west, The Tati River majestically meanders through. To its east, lies the Botswana Defence Force (BDF) Area S Camp.

The old screen walls, with a number of gaps resulting from the fallen portions and a barbed wire that is strategically placed on top of this wall to stop anything from going over it forms part of the landscape of this place. The wall, which is supposed to be white, is now projecting the signs of a weather- beaten structure. It is undoubtedly succumbing slowly but surely to the vagaries of the weather.

At the entrance to this place decorations made from gum poles and dustbins painted in Botswana national colours are evident. The word 'FRANCISTOWN'   majestically runs across the wall near the entrance.
