FRANCISTOWN: Deputy mayor, Uyapo Nyeku, says the second city continues to grapple with ageing and dilapidated infrastructure, particularly road networks that have exceeded their design lifespan.

He was addressing the City of Francistown Council session, which started yesterday (Monday) here at the Civic Centre. According to Nyeku, sustainable infrastructure is a critical catalyst for travel, investment, and economic growth.

He added that the recent heavy downpours experienced across the city have significantly worsened road conditions, resulting in widespread pothole formation estimated at approximately 12,000m². To adequately address this challenge, he stated that the Council requires an estimated amount of over P8.4million.
