Francistown City mayor Godisang Radisigo PIC: KEOAGILE BONANG

FRANCISTOWN: Francistown mayor, Godisang Radisigo has finally opened up on his decision to withdraw from supplying food hampers to residents at Newstance as part of a government initiative to cushion Batswana against the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Through his general dealer, Lwange Investments, Radisigo had won the food supply tender but soon dropped his pursuit of the tender after many cited a conflict of interest.

In addition, the general consensus amongst some Batswana is that by virtue of being the mayor, Radisigo might have been privy to some details that enabled him to win the tender. The Francistown City Council (FCC) directly supervised the awarding of the food supply tender.
