Cultural heritage critical to cultural tourism in F/town

Francistown is home to several rich but neglected historical sites such as the house that served as the residence of former Namibian Presidents during the country’s independence struggle, the scene of the WENELA crash and Supa Ngwao to name but just a few. Radisigo recently told members of the media that the city could benefit from the promotion of cultural tourism at some historically underutilised sites.

He used the place that the former presidents of Namibia used as a refuge during the country’s independence struggle as an example. The White House in Bluetown, now plot 7440, used to house Namibian presidents who were refugees during the struggle for Namibia’s independence. Around 1974, there was the worst nightmare regarding an air crash that occurred in Botswana involving some Malawian citizens.
