Khama shoots down Kasane railway proposal

KASANE: Minister of Environment, Natural Resources, Conservation and Tourism, Tshekedi Khama says the ambitious proposal by Botswana Railways (BR) to construct a commercial railway line from the Matsitama in the central district to Kasane is a bad move that he would not support.

Khama made the announcement during a media briefing at the ongoing Botswana Travel and Tourism Expo (BTTE) in Kasane on Tuesday.

“It is not the best idea. But we would see how BR goes about demonstrating the environmental impact of the project. They would have to pull a rabbit out of the hat to achieve a minimal environmental impact for such a project,” said Khama
