Mr president, delaunch the blue train, please!

Poor things, they had bought the necessary train tickets hoping to travel down South in style, enjoying the luxury, and superb comfort. Batswana had long demanded the re-instatement of this mode of transport to relieve the congestion on the unsafe public road transport.

The no-show of the BR Express at the scheduled time at Francistown railway station was an anti-climax. Passengers clutching their purchased train tickets waited, writhed in agony, scratched their heads until  early morning hours without anybody informing them about the fuel contamination responsible for the train incapacitation!
