Speaking at a Kgotla meeting addressed by Selebi-Phikwe East MP, also the Minister of Lands and Housing, Nonofo Molefhi, last weekend, Mukokomani said people with political agendas stall developments deliberately.

He also said the system of electing WDC members should be changed.

He said the stalls were meant to assist women who wanted to venture into business. He said the criminals now use the ugly stalls as hideouts.
