Fire scare alarms GCC

Fire alarm rang at 8:00am immediately after the employees concluded their morning prayers.  The deputy mayor Kagiso Tshikega said Botswana Power Corporation (BPC) officers had managed to an identify electrical fault.  “They have identified an electrical fault at the mayor’s office and the council chambers.  The BPC officers have told us that lights at the mayor’s office and council chambers should not be switched on until the electrical people have rectified the problem,” Tshikega said.

The concerned deputy mayor said the GCC buildings need a total overhaul. He said the offices are very old.  However the council meeting started around 9:30am after electrical officers told the mayor that the full council could go on but they should not use any electrical appliances.
