SEROWE: For several decades brigades in Botswana depended on what Patrick van Rensburg crafted in the early 1970s in the vocational skills curriculum.

It was said during the recent memorial service in Serowe that now defunct Botswana Training Authority (BOTA) was created to improve skills training, but it closed shop before they could come up with an alternative to his robust curricular in any of the vocational trades.

Brigades representative, Paul Mosimanegape said the only thing that changed was to repeal the Apprenticeship System Act. He said in 2009 brigades thwarted production from the concept of training with production so production and practicals are now moribund.
