Heavy Rains In Neighbouring South Africa Welcome

The heavy rains in the North West Province are a welcome development indeed for especially for thirsty Botswana.

While not most of their water will surely not be coming our way, the heavy rains have however given us hope that at least a strategic dam in the north west province of South Africa, Molatedi Dam, would fill up and ensure that Gaborone start withdrawing water from that dam in  larger quantities to ease the current dire situation. In a year that has been predicted to be a difficult one, over the last week, some Botswana places such as Molepolole, have reported heavy downpours albeit with catastrophic effects.
