Kgosi Mosielele did a commendable job

Kgosi Oscar Mosielele of Moshupa went on a sponsored cycling trip from Jwaneng to Moshupa at the weekend and managed to raise P45,000 to be used for construction of leobo (Kgotla Shelter) in his village. The distance he recovered is roughly 110km. This is very challenging for anybody aged over 40 years.

We take this opportunity to commend him for leading his people to demonstrate that the spirit of self-reliance is still alive. This is even more important at a time when the world is facing a debilitating financial crisis. The crisis has forced government to postpone some of the projects in National Development Plan 10.

It is obvious that had Kgosi Mosielele sat at home and did nothing, the people of Moshupa were not going to realise their dream of having a bigger leobo in their main Kgotla. The fact that the leobo will accommodate over 400 people is very encouraging.
