Donkey cart is a mode of transport in Botswana

The Molepolole Administrative Authority (MAA)/Lentsweletau Sub District Council chairperson, Allen Jacob is pleading with the public to assist them with donkey carts to help students, who are forced to walk long distances daily, to get to schools.

MAA/Lentsweletau Sub-District Council has more than 70 students, who are compelled to walk more than five to seven kilometres to their schools. Currently, the council has 20 donkey carts, but three are not operating and it needs to be assisted with five or more.

“Our donkey carts are not enough, especially during this deadly (the coronavirus) COVID-19 pandemic. Students are forced to crowd in these carts because they do not have a choice. One donkey cart carries 12 or less depending on the number of students per school who travel such distance.
