BNF councilors accuse leadership of downplaying critical issues

According to leaked communications, some members believe there is a growing disconnect between councillors, Members of Parliament (MPs) and Cabinet Ministers, leaving grassroots representatives uninformed about pressing challenges. One such was attributed to Thamaga South councillor, Lawrence Gaorutwe, highlights frustrations over the worsening shortage of medicines in clinics and hospitals across the country.

Gaorutwe stressed that councillors, as the closest representatives to the people, bear the brunt of government failures in their wards, homes, kgotlas, clinics and social spaces.
