Motokwe children deprived of life-saving immunisation

Motokwe is a village in the Kweneng District facing challenges such as alcohol abuse, which is largely linked to high unemployment and lack of opportunities.

However, while alcohol abuse is common in many villages around the country, in Motokwe, it has led to a surge in child negligence resulting in many children not taking their immunisation vaccines. Health authorities in the area say many children in the village and surrounding areas are prone to malnutrition.
