Speaking at a lunch organised by the club for the elderly at the village community hall over the weekend, the Shoshong Member of Parliament said it was a fitting gesture to appreciate and honour elders who have done a lot for the country.
He said the youth’s effort is in support of President Ian Khama’s plans of taking the country forward. He urged club members to continue with the good work and make it an annual event and work on doing much more in the future.
For his part, Kgosi Felix Kgamane said the youth have a meaningful role to play in the development of their community and should do whatever they can to improve their communities. He sang praises of the social club youth for organising lunch for the elderly saying it is a sign that they care about the welfare of the parents who raised them and urged other youths to be like minded. The deputy chairperson of Makgobokane Social Club, Setshwane Malakaila said the club is following the culture of unity and caring for the less fortunate members of the community. He said since inception in 2012, the club identified and helped the less fortunate members of the community with food baskets from donations made by members of the business community and the community at large. He said they are planning to build toilets for the pensioners.
