Ipelegeng should be left to Dikgosi - BNF

Addressing a BNF press conference on poverty alleviation and citizen empowerment in Tlokweng yesterday, the party's secretary for economic affairs Ferdinand Kgosikoma said the BDP government's interventions to eradicate poverty such as bee-keeping, fisheries and small stock production are "in their present form taking Batswana back to the Stone Age when traditional farming was practiced on subsistence basis.

This will take us nowhere if we don't take agricultural production seriously. BNF believes that irrigation farming should be taken seriously," he said.
