Gaborone/Molepolole road operational

Heavy downpours this morning resulted in the road being closed as the bridge and the road were submerged forcing law enforcement officers to turn away commuters and motorists to and from Molepolole and Kopong.

Superintendent Samuel Kgomo of Mogoditshane Police Station revealed that the road is now operational. "The situation was really bad. We got here at around 4am where we found the water overflowing from the river and we decided to close the road for those that were going to Molepolole," he said. Kgomo added most people were turned away and they could not go to work due to the closure of the road. He further highlighted that the road was however not closed for long as it was soon reopened. "Though the water was heavy and the roads were submerged the water went down after few hours and we reopened the roads," Kgomo added.
