“When this time of the year comes, we need to remind ourselves if we are still in line with our mandate when we took over council or not,” Molokwe said when delivering his acceptance speech on Friday at a council meeting in Mochudi after Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) fellows renewed his mandate.
“We have promised Bakgatla that we will give them the best service as BDP councillors when we took over and I still want to assure them that we have not changed or gone back on the promises we made. Even if we have financial constraints since COVID-19 has affected the country, we are trying our best to deliver some of the promises as a council.”
Molokwe urged the council to support small businesses in the district so that they can create jobs for youth.
The council chairperson added that if small business people are supported then the unemployment rate, which is also high in the district, will be reduced.
He asked residents to support businesses in their communities for the development of their area.
“Go botlhokwa bagaetsho gore re tshwaragane re dire se se tshwanetseng go isa ditlamelo ko bathong,” he said.
On the issue of roads, Molokwe said the KDC is trying hard to improve internal roads and repair others that have bad potholes.
On other issues, the council chairperson pleaded with councillors to cooperate and work hand-in-hand with different village leaders for development.
Still on district issues, Molokwe pleaded with the public to take care of themselves as COVID-19 cases are starting to go up again.
He advised those who are due for a COVID-19 booster to take it so that they protect themselves from the virus.
